What happens when : (a) (CH_(3))_(3)C-OH is treated with Cu to 573 K, (b) Anisole is treated with CH_(3)Cl/anhydrous AlCl_(y). (c ) Phenol is treated with Zn dust ? Write chemical equations in support of your answer.

Answer»

Solution :(a) `(CH_(3))_(3)C-OH` is treated with Cu at 573 K
`(CH_(3))_(3)C-OH` undergoes dehydration
`CH_(3)-OVERSET(CH_(3))overset("|")underset(CH_(3))underset("|")"C "-OH overset(Cu)underset(573K)RARR CH_(3)-overset(CH_(3))overset("|")"C "=CH_(2)`
(B) Anisole is treated with `CH_(3)Cl`/ANHYDROUS `AlCl_(3)`

(c ) Phenol is treated with zinc dust
