Choose the correct answer from the options given below: How many molecules are secondary alcohol?
- In the given reaction, the transformation involves the following: \[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CH}_2\text{OH} \xrightarrow{H_2SO_4, 413K} S_N2 \] What is the product of the reaction?
Alcohols undergo a number of reactions involving the cleavage of C – OH bond. However, phenols do not undergo reactions involving the cleavage of C – OH bond. Alcohols are weaker acids than water. Alcohols react with halogen acids to form the corresponding haloaklanes. Phenols are stronger acids than alcohols. A charac- teristic feature of phenols is that they undergo electrophilic substitution reactions such as halogenation, nitration, etc. Since –OH group is a strong activating group, phenol gives trisubstituted products during halogenation, nitration, etc.
