Distinguish Between Ethanol A D Phenol

Phenol is an unsaturated aromatic alcohol, while ethanol is saturated aliphatic alcohol.

Ethanol reacts with triiodomethane (iodoform test) and forms yellow precipitate, while phenol does not give this test.

Phenol has benzene ring it under goes diazo coupling reaction, while ethanol doest give this test.
