Answer:
I think it's B
Explanation:
I might be wrong, but please tell me.
Atoms are made up of three subatomic particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus.
All protons have a positive charge.
All neutrons have no charge or are neutral.
Electrons orbit around the nucleus and have a negative charge.
Ibuprofen is synthesized by reacting ethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)acetate with base, the base abstracts the acidic proton and enolate is formed which on reaction with diethyl carbonate generates diethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)malonate
(A). diethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)malonate on treatment with Base again looses the acidic proton and forms enolate. The enolate with treatment with Methyl Iodide yields diethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)-2-methylmalonate
(B). diethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)-2-methylmalonate on
hydrolysis give
Ibuprofen.
