Question

$C{H}_{3}COCl$ does not react with:

• A. diethyl ether
• B. phenol
• C. ethanol
• D. aniline

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$C_2{H}_{5}O{C}_2{H}_5+C{H}_3\stackrel{\underset{||}{O}}{C}Cl\stackrel{ZnC{l}_2}{\to }$ $C_2{H}_{5}Cl+C{H}_{3}COO{C}_2{H}_5$
$C{H}_{3}COO{C}_2{H}_5+HCl$
Aceryl chloride does not react direct with phenol. Firstly phenol reacts with alkali to form sodium phenoxide which reacts with acetyl, chloride to give phenyl acetate.
