Which of the following products is not possible in the reaction given below?

(C2H5COO)2Ca+(C6H5COO)2Ca→ distillation  Dry \left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{COO}\right)_2 \mathrm{Ca}+\left(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{COO}\right)_2 \mathrm{Ca} \xrightarrow[\text { distillation }]{\text { Dry }}
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
C6H5CH2COCH3\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{COCH}_3
The correct answer is D (C6H5CH2COCH3\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{COCH}_3) because dry distillation of calcium salts of carboxylic acids produces ketones, and this option is not a ketone.
