1. Arrange the compounds in the increasing order of their strength.4-Nitro phenolPhenolPropan-1-ol4-Methyl phenol. 2. You are given benzene, conc.H2SO4 and NaOH. Prepare phenol using these compounds.

Answer»

1. 4-Nitrophenol > Phenol > 4-Methylphenol > 1- Propanol. Presence of electron with drawing groups at ortho and para positions increases the acidic strength of substituted phenols.

2. By the action of benzene with conc.H2SO4 & NaOH, sodium benzene sulphonate is formed. This on acidification gives phenol.
