STANDARD Chemistry Reactions of Phenol Match the Following Question
Match the column I with column II and mark the appropriate choice.
Column-I (A) Hydrolysis of benzene diazonium chloride (B) Phenol + methyl chloride in presence of anhy. AlCl₃ (C) Reaction of sodium phenoxide with CO₂ (D) Phenol + Conc. HNO₃
Column-II (i) p-Cresol (ii) Salicylic acid (iii) Picric acid (iv) Phenol
A → (i), B → (iii), C → (ii), D → (iv)
A → (iv), B → (ii), C → (iii), D → (i)
A → (iv), B → (i), C → (ii), D → (iii)
A → (iii), B → (iv), C → (i), D → (ii)
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The hydrolysis of benzene diazonium chloride yields phenol (A → (iv)). Friedel-Crafts alkylation of phenol with methyl chloride gives p-cresol (B → (i)). The Kolbe-Schmitt reaction of sodium phenoxide with CO₂ produces salicylic acid (C → (ii)). Nitration of phenol with concentrated HNO₃ forms picric acid (D → (iii)).
