NEET Chemistry Properties of Phenols Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Phenoxide ion | (i) More stable than phenol |
| (b) 2,4,6-Trinitrophenol | (ii) Stronger acid than ethanol |
| (c) Benzene | (iii) Converted to phenol by hydrolysis |
| (d) Salicylaldehyde | (iv) Produced from phenol via Reimer-Tiemann reaction |
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-ii, b-iv, c-iii, d-i
a-i, b-iii, c-iv, d-ii
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Phenoxide ion is indeed more stable than phenol due to charge delocalization. Also, 2,4,6-Trinitrophenol is a stronger acid than ethanol, and benzene can be converted to phenol through hydrolysis of diazonium salts. Salicylaldehyde is produced from phenol via the Reimer-Tiemann reaction.
