Q15 / 75 · JEE Main 2020 (04 Sep Shift 1) · Chemistry
on treatment with in produced a single isomer wile heating with sodalime gives toluene. The compound is:
- Correct answerA

- B

- C

- D

Solution
Isomer on heating with sodalime gives toluene,hence it is an acid.Moreover since it has Degree of unsaturation 5 therefore it is an aromatic carboxylic acid.Since Carboxylic acid on heating gives toluene ,therefore it is having group attached to the benzene ring.
Now it forms single isomer on halogenation, therefore group must be attached at para position with respect to group.
Hence correct option is 1.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
