Vedclass · Answer

(D) The given reaction is an acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of a cyclic acetal derivative of a phenol. In the presence of $H_3O^+$,the cyclic acetal ring undergoes hydrolysis to release the parent phenol and formaldehyde. The starting material is a derivative of $1,2,4$-trihydroxybenzene where the $1,2$-dihydroxy group is protected as a cyclic acetal (methylenedioxy group). Upon hydrolysis,the methylenedioxy group is cleaved to yield $1,2,4$-trihydroxybenzene and formaldehyde $(HCHO)$. Thus,the products are $1,2,4$-trihydroxybenzene and $HCHO$. Therefore,the correct option is $(d)$.

The product$(s)$ of the reaction is/are:
