The compound

\mathrm{X}

, in the reaction is

X\xrightarrow{{\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}\mathrm{CHO}}}Y\xrightarrow{{\mathrm{Hydrolysis}}}\mathrm{Mg}\left( {\mathrm{OH}} \right)\mathrm{I} + \mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}\mathrm{COOH}

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{O}_2}

Option B (

\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{O}_2}

) is correct because the Grignard reagent formed from CO2 reacts with acetaldehyde to form a product that hydrolyzes to acetic acid.
