Chemistry Question from JEE Main 2023 · 12 April, Shift 1

The major product PP formed in the following sequence of reactions is:

Reaction sequence starting from an aromatic carboxylic acid side chain compound treated with SOCl2, R-NH2, LiAlH4 and H3O+, asking for the major product among given structures.
  • A

    The alkene is retained and the chain ends in a carbon bearing both OH-\text{OH} and NHR-\text{NHR}: phenylCH=CHCH2CH(OH)NHR-\text{CH}=\text{CH}-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}(\text{OH})\text{NHR}

  • B

    The double bond has added HCl and the chain ends in CH2OH-\text{CH}_2\text{OH}: phenylCH(NHR)CH(Cl)CH2CH2OH-\text{CH}(\text{NHR})-\text{CH}(\text{Cl})-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_2\text{OH}

  • C

    The saturated amide: phenylCH2CH2CH2CONHR-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_2-\text{CONHR}

  • D

    The unsaturated amine: phenylCH=CHCH2CH2NHR-\text{CH}=\text{CH}-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_2-\text{NHR}
