NEET Chemistry Properties of Phenols Match the Following Question
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 |
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-iv, b-iii, c-ii, d-i
a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii
Correct Answer
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.
