Question

reaction of aqueous sodium hydroxide on chlorobenzene gives which of the following products​

Answer 1

Answer:

Reaction of chlorobenzene with a concentrated sodium hydroxide solution at temperatures above 350 ºC. The chief products are phenol and diphenyl ether

Answer 2

The reaction of aqueous sodium hydroxide with chlorobenzene leads to the formation of Phenol.

• The aqueous sodium hydroxide (NaOH) react with chlorobenzene under specific temperature and pressure.
• At 623K and under 300atm pressure, Aqueous NaOH and chlorobenzene react to form Sodium phenoxide.
• Sodium phenoxide is an intermediate complex that ultimately gets converted into phenol.
• This reaction is popularly known as Dow's process.
