Question

Reaction of iso-propylbenzene with O₂ followed by the treatment with H₃O⁺ forms phenol and a by-product P. Reaction of P with 3 equivalents of Cl₂ gives compound Q. Treatment of Q with Ca(OH)₂ produces compound R and calcium salt S.
The correct statement(s) regarding P, Q, R and S is(are)

• A. Reaction of P with R in the presence of KOH followed by acidification gives
  
• B. Reaction of R with O₂ in the presence of light gives phosgene gas
• C. Q reacts with aqueous NaOH to produce Cl₃CCH₂OH and Cl₃CCOONa
• D. S on heating gives P
