The correct option is option B.
Explanation:
- The series of reaction starts with the reactant which is ethyl benzene.
- Ethyl benzene is first treated with KMnO4 in KOH solution.
- KMnO4 is a strong oxidising agent which oxidises the ethyl chain in the benzene to carboxyl group.
- So the product A is Benzoic acid.
- This product is then treated with bromine in FeCl3.
- This reagent adds bromine via electrophilic substitution.
- As carboxylic group is meta directing group, then the product B is metabromobenzoic acid.
- This product is then treated with ethanol in dilute acid.
- This causes esterification and adds the ethoxy group to the carboxylic group forming product that is given in option b.
