Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) C, B, A and D

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(CH_3CH_2Br \xrightarrow{KOH(alc.)} CH_2=CH_2\) \(CH_2=CH_2 \xrightarrow{Br_2} BrCH_2CH_2Br\) \(BrCH_2CH_2Br \xrightarrow{KCN} NCCH_2CH_2CN\) \(NCCH_2CH_2CN \xrightarrow{H_2O/H^+} HOOCCH_2CH_2COOH\) Correct sequence: C, B, A and D
