Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Acid chlorides | (i) Hydrolysis to carboxylic acids |
| (b) Esters | (ii) Nucleophilic acyl substitution |
| (c) Anhydrides | (iii) Acidic hydrolysis to carboxylic acids |
| (d) PCl5 | (iv) Replacement of hydroxyl group with chlorine |
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-iv, b-iii, c-i, d-ii
a-iii, b-iv, c-ii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Acid chlorides hydrolyze to form carboxylic acids, esters undergo nucleophilic acyl substitution, anhydrides are hydrolyzed to give corresponding acids, and PCl5 replaces the hydroxyl group with a chlorine atom.
