Product ‘A’ in the reaction is

A

CH3COOH\mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \mathrm { COOH }

B

C2H5OH\mathrm { C } _ { 2 } \mathrm { H } _ { 5 } \mathrm { OH }

C

CH3COCH3\mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \mathrm { COCH } _ { 3 }

D

Answer

CH3COCH3\mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \mathrm { COCH } _ { 3 }

Explanation

Solution

Ketonic hydrolysis

CH3COCH2COOC2H5\mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } - \mathrm { CO } - \mathrm { CH } _ { 2 } \mathrm { COOC } _ { 2 } \mathrm { H } _ { 5 }

H2ONaOHCH3COCH3+C2H5OH+CO2\xrightarrow [ \mathrm { H } _ { 2 } \mathrm { O } ] { \mathrm { NaOH } } \mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \mathrm { COCH } _ { 3 } + \mathrm { C } _ { 2 } \mathrm { H } _ { 5 } \mathrm { OH } + \mathrm { CO } _ { 2 }
