The starting material for the preparation of

\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}\mathrm{I}

in one step reaction is:

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}\mathrm{OH}

Option A (

\mathrm{CH}_3\mathrm{OH}

) is correct because methyl alcohol (

\mathrm{CH}_3\mathrm{OH}

) can be directly converted to methyl iodide (

\mathrm{CH}_3\mathrm{I}

) in a single step using a reagent like

\mathrm{HI}

\mathrm{P}{\mathrm{I}_3}
