Q.
Which of the following compounds is aromatic alcohol?
Alcohols Phenols and Ethers
Solution:
Another name of phenol is "carbolic acid" and it cannot be considered as aromatic alcohol. It is quite separate branch of compound called phenols. So, compound $(A)$ i.e., phenol and compound $(D)$ i.e., a derivative of phenol cannot be considered as aromatic alcohol.
On the other hand, in compound $(B)$ and $(C), -OH$ group is bonded to $sp ^{3}$ hybridised carbon which in turn is bonded to benzene ring. Hence, the correct option is (c).
