Answer to Problem 16.45EP
The structural formula of the expected product is,
Explanation of Solution
Given substance is,
Oxidation of the alkyl side chain in a benzene derivative leads to the formation of aromatic acids. All the carbon atoms in alkyl group are lost except the one that is attached to the ring. The one carbon that is attached to the ring becomes a part of carboxyl
The product formed is benzoic acid.
