PYQ

4-nitrotoluene is treated with \({\mathrm{Br}}_{2}\) to get compound P which is reduced with Sn and HCl to get Compound Q, then Q is diazotized and the product is treated with phosphinic acid to get R is oxidized with alkaline \({\mathrm{KMnO}}_{4}\) to get the final product

a

2-Bromo-4-hydroxy Benzoic acid

b

Benzoic acid

c

4-Bromo Benzoic acid

d

2-Bromo Benzoic acid

✓ Correct answer: d)

2-Bromo Benzoic acid

Explanation

1.4-Nitrotoluene + Br₂: Bromination at the meta position forms 2-Bromo-4-nitrotoluene (Compound P).

2.P + Sn/HCl: Reduction of the nitro group forms 2-Bromo-4-aminotoluene (Compound Q).

3.Q + NaNO₂/HCl: Diazotization forms a diazonium salt.

4.Diazonium salt + H₃PO₄: Forms 2-Bromo-4-hydroxybenzene (Compound R).

5.R + KMnO₄ (alkaline): Oxidation forms 2-Bromo-4-carboxybenzoic acid (final product).
