Chemistry-Properties of Phenols
NEET Chemistry Properties of Phenols Match the Following Question
Type: Match the Following-match the column-Hard-Class 12
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Reimer-Tiemann reaction (i) Produces salicylaldehyde (b) Oxidation with chromic acid (ii) Produces benzoquinone (c) Reaction with zinc dust (iii) Converts to benzene (d) Electrophilic substitution (iv) Activates the aromatic ring
Choose the correct matching:
A
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
B
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
C
a-iv, b-iii, c-ii, d-i
D
a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The Reimer-Tiemann reaction introduces a –CHO group to produce salicylaldehyde; oxidation with chromic acid produces benzoquinone; heating with zinc dust converts phenol to benzene; and the alkoxy group in phenols activates the aromatic ring towards electrophilic substitution.
