Question

Give the equations of reactions for the preparation of phenol from cumene.

Answer 1

To plan phenol, cumene is first oxidized within the sight of quality of cumene hydro-peroxide.

At that point, cumene hydroxide is treated with weaken corrosive to get ready phenol and CH3)2CO as side-effects.

Cumene is oxidized into cumene hydro peroxide via air at high weight which on disintegration by watery corrosive gives phenol and CH3)2CO.
