Question

convert phenol to ethonyl chloride​

Answer 1

Phenol reacts with ethanoyl chloride at room temperature, although the reaction isn't as fast as the one between ethanoyl chloride and an alcohol. Phenyl ethanoate is formed together with hydrogen chloride gas. Sometimes it is necessary to modify the phenol first to make the reaction faster.

Answer 2

Answer:

Cumene is converted into phenol by oxidation of cumene. Phenol is weak acidic hence turns blue litmus red. It give positive dye test, whereas alcohols do not show dye test. Phenolgives violet coloured ferric phenoxide complex with aqueous neutral ferricchloride whereas, alcohols do not.
