The major product formed in the following reaction is:
Due to the stability of benzylic carbocation $$I$$ will react on the catbocation and in case of phenolic $$OH$$ $$C-O$$ bond is strong therefore, I goes with ethyl carbocation.
- A
- B
- C
- D
Solution
Due to the stability of benzylic carbocation $$I$$ will react on the catbocation and in case of phenolic $$OH$$ $$C-O$$ bond is strong therefore, I goes with ethyl carbocation.Option B is correct
