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 benzoquinone |
| (b) Oxidation of phenol | (ii) Converts phenol to benzene |
| (c) Reaction with zinc dust | (iii) Introduces –CHO group at ortho position |
| (d) Hydrolysis of benzal chloride | (iv) Produces salicylaldehyde |
a-iii, b-i, c-ii, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-iv
a-iii, b-ii, c-i, d-iv
a-iv, b-i, c-ii, d-iii
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The Reimer-Tiemann reaction introduces a –CHO group at the ortho position, oxidation of phenol produces benzoquinone, reaction with zinc dust converts phenol to benzene, and hydrolysis of benzal chloride produces salicylaldehyde, aligning perfectly with the NCERT context.
