A compund (a) of molecular formula C_7H_8O is insoluble in water and dilute aqueous sodium bicarbona

Answer»




SOLUTION :Since A gives characteristic colour withaqueous `FeCl_3`so it contains a phenlic group.
(ii)SicneAWhen treated with `Br_2` forms`C_7H_5OBr_3` (ppt.) and consideringthe molecular formula of A ,it is most LIKELY to be CRESOL.

(iii) Since A on bromination forms tribromo derivative so, it is m-cresol i.e.
The REACTIONS are:
