Question

viii) Predict the product of following reaction.
(CH),C-OH Cu/573k ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

• Reaction 1 -

When ethanol is heated with Cu at 573 K, it gets oxodized to ethanal.

CH3CH2OH ---> CH3CHO + H2

• Reaction 2 -

Phenol is treated with acetyl chloride in presence of anhydrous AlCl3 to form m-acylphenol and p-acylphenol.

2C6H5OH + 2CH3COCl ---> C6H4(OH)(COCH3)m + C6H4(OH)(COCH3)p + 2HCl

• Reaction 3 -

Ethyl chloride when treated with sodium methoxide gives ethyl methyl ether.

CCH3CH2Cl + NaOCH3 ---> CH3CH2COCH3 + NaCl
