Hey mate!!!
Phenol can be converted into anisole in just two simple steps. Williamson's synthesis
RONa + RX →ROR + NaX
Phenol on reaction with sodium metal gives sodium phenoxide.
2C6H5OH + 2Na → 2C6H5ONa + H2
Sodium phenoxide on reaction with methyl iodide at 330k gives anisole.
C6H5ONa + CH3I → C6H5OCH3 + NaI
