Answer:

The hydrolysis in aqueous HCl of compound A can lead to the formation of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol.

Explanation:

The picture shows the structures of compound A, benzoncaine and the possible products of the proposed reaction.

The acidic hydrolysis is the inverse of the esterification reaction. Therefore, the ester group of compund A will react to form the equivalent carboxylic acid and alcohol.

In order to form benzocaine, the hydrolysis happens in with the nitrile group.
