Answer» Solution :(a) In phenol, there is `+ve` charge on oxygen in its RESONATING structures, THEREFORE, it does not undergo protonation easily. (b) Add `I_(2)` and `NaOH` to the compound, 2- BUTANOL will give yellow PRECIPITATE DUE to formation of iodoform whereas 2-methyl-2- propanol will not react. |
