Today 's Target

Alcohols , Phenols and Ethers

1.Phenol is acidic while benzyl alcohol is neutral , why ?
2. What is Rectified spirit and how is it different from Denatured alcohol ?
3. Explain how the -OH group on a benzene ring activates it for electrophilic substitution reaction ?
4. Write the chemical reaction for the following :

7. An organic compound [A] (C6H6O) gives characteristic colour with aq. FeCl3 . When [A]
is treated with CO2 & NaOH at high temp. & pressure compound [B] is obtained. The compound [B] on acidification gives [C] which reacts with acetyl chloride to form [D] , which is a pain killer. Identify A,B,C ,D & give the chemical reactions involved.
8. Aromatic ethers always yield Phenol on hydrolysis, why ?
9. Why do tertiary alkyl halide fail to show Williamson synthesis ?
