Answer 1

Answer: (D)

(a) Benzoin condensation when an ethanolic solution of benzaldehyde is heated with strong alkali like $KCN$ or $NaCN$, we get benzoin.

(b) Formation of phenolphthalein When phenol is treated with phthalic anhydride in the presence of conc. $H _{2} SO _{4}$, it gives phenolphthalein, an indicator.

(c) Fries rearrangement Phenyl benzoate when heated with anhydrous $AlCl _{3}$ in the presence of inert solvent gives ortho-and para-hydroxybenzophenone. In this rearrangement, there is a benzoyl group migration from the phenolic oxygen to an ortho-and para-position.

(d) Methylsalicvlate

(A chief constituent of oil of wintergreen)
