Vedclass · Answer

(C) The reaction involves the treatment of $2-(	ext{bromomethyl})	ext{benzonitrile}$ with excess $NaOH$ and $H_2O$ under heating conditions.$1$. The $-CN$ group (nitrile) undergoes alkaline hydrolysis to form a carboxylate group $(-COO^-)$,which upon acidification (or workup) yields a carboxylic acid $(-COOH)$ group.$2$. The $-CH_2Br$ group (benzyl bromide) undergoes nucleophilic substitution $(S_N2)$ with $OH^-$ ions to form a primary alcohol $(-CH_2OH)$ group.Therefore,both functional groups are transformed,resulting in $2-(	ext{hydroxymethyl})	ext{benzoic acid}$ as the major product.
