JEE AdvancedJEE Advanced 2013Alcohols Phenols and Ethers

Solution:

PLAN Phenolic compounds in alkaline solution react with chloroform
$ \, \, \, \, \, (CHCI_3)$ at a temperature lower than that of $CHCl_3$ to form
$ \, \, \, \, \, \, $ortho-isomer as the major product (due to greater stability
$ \, \, \, \, \, \, $resulting from intramolecular hydrogen bonding).
Thus, (b) and (d) are correct.
