Question
Identify the commercial preparation (s) of phenol. Chlorobenzene + NaOH at 350 degree C; then H_3O^+ Benzene + O_2 C_6H_5CH(CH_3)_2 + O_2 ; then H_3O^+, heat A) and B) A) and C) BONUS QUESTIONS: Place all answers on the back of the Scantron® in slots 51, etc. Phenol is less reactive than expected in Friedel-Crafts acylations for which of these reasons? The acid chloride or anhydride hydrolyzes under the reaction conditions. The electronegativity of the -OH group reduces the reactivity of phenol. Interaction of the -OH group with AICl_3 forms a species less reactive than phenol. The reaction gives O-acylation only, resulting in an ester. The aromatic ring complexes with AICl_3 with a resulting decrease in phenol reactivity. Which reagent would you use to carry out the following transformation?Explanation / Answer
25. Commercial process used for preparation of phenol is,
C) C6H5CH(CH3)2 + O2 then H3O+, heat
26. Phenol is less reactive towards electrophilic acylation reaction because,
C) Interaction of AlCl3 with OH group forms a species less reactive than phenol.
