1acc to swaraj's mech how can a positive charge come on c next to Ph as it is a electron withdrawing group and destabilises the charge?
11I hav made som mistek
when OH- will attack attack at this carbon their will formation of - charge on O
but when it returns to its original position there will b posibility of elimination of either Ph group or hydroxyl group.if OH- eliminates ,as the medium is basic so it will again atttack,but if ph group eliminates soon after the elimination OH- will lose an proton immediately. so again Ph cant attack
11@ vimalesh in my mech shown no where there is formation of +ve charge at carbon .it is an SN2 type reaction .u r right tht Ph will withdo electron and this will increase deficiency at carbonyl carbon and more extent of nucleophilic attack
