Observe the following reaction sequence and the statements given about the product \(Y\)
I. Reaction of \(Y\) with \(\mathrm{Br_2/UV}\) light forms aryl bromide.
II. Reaction of \(Y\) with \(\mathrm{CrO_3/(CH_3CO)_2O}\) followed by hydrolysis gives a compound which is acidic in nature.
The correct answer is
Show Hint
Remember:
\[
\boxed{
\mathrm{Toluene}
\xrightarrow[\mathrm{V_2O_5}]{\mathrm{O_2}}
\mathrm{Benzoic\ acid}
}
\]
Benzoic acid does not undergo side-chain bromination or Etard oxidation.
