The total number of carboxylic acid groups in the product

P

Answer: 2

Solution

The reaction shows oxidation of a disubstituted benzene derivative. When the substituents are oxidized (likely alkyl groups or similar oxidizable groups attached to the benzene ring), they are converted to carboxylic acid groups (-COOH). Based on the structure and the oxidation conditions shown, the product P contains 2 carboxylic acid groups.
