Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

(a) Tertiary alcohol when passed over heated Cu at 573 K, dehydration takes place instead of dehydrogenation to gives alkene.

(b) When anisole is treated with CH₃Cl/anhydrous AlCl₃, methyl group is substituted at ortho and para position of anisole.

(c) When phenol is treated with Zn dust benzene ring is obtained.
