  4. D \(|\|>\mid>\|\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(|>|||>\|\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hint: Alkaline hydrolysis is a nucleophilic substitution reaction on ester. Hence, presence of electron withdrawing group promotes nucleophilic attack \(-\mathrm{NO}_{2} \quad-\mathrm{R}\) and \(-\mathrm{I}\) \(-\mathrm{OMe} \quad+\mathrm{R},-\mathrm{I}\) \(-\) Me \(\quad\) + I…
