Question

by help of chemical reaction show how phenol is prepared from cumene process?

Answer 1

Answer:

From cumene

Cumene (isopropylbenzene) is oxidised in the presence of air to cumene hydroperoxide. It is converted to phenol and acetone by treating it with dilute acid. Acetone, a by-product of this reaction, is also obtained in large quantities by this method. Most of the worldwide production of phenol is from cumene.
