Question

What happen when
1) Ethanol is treated with Cu at 573K
2) Phenol is treated with CH3COCL in the presence of anhydrous AlCl3
3) Ethyl chloride is treated with NaOCH3

Answer 1

Solution is in the attachment:

Answer 2

Hey dear,

● 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

Hope this helps you...
