Correct Answer: A
Solution :
[a] \[\underset{Acetaldehyde\text{ }cyanohydrin}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}\overset{OH}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,HCN}}\,~\xrightarrow{[O]}C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-CN\] \[\xrightarrow{{{H}^{+}},{{H}_{2}}O}C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-COOH\]You need to login to perform this action.
