Question

How will you prepare benzene from phenol ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Phenol can be converted to benzene by using strong reducing agents like Zn dust with strong heating. When strongly heated,the phenol gets converted into phenoxide ion and proton thus released accepts an electron from Zn forming H radical. The O- thus formed accepts an electron from Zn and forms oxide ion.
