(d) 
View AnswerAns: (d)
At STP condition substitution at sp2 carbon atom is not feasible.
Q2: Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The acidic strength of monosubstituted nitrophenol is higher than phenol because of the electron-withdrawing into the group.
Statement II: o-nitrophenol, m-nitrophenol, and p-nitrophenol will have same acidic strength as they have one nitro group attached to the phenolic ring.

Statement I is correct, Statement II incorrect.
Q4: Given below are two statements:
Statement -I: In Lucas test, primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols are distinguished on the basis of their reactivity with conc. HCl + ZnCl2, known as Lucas Reagent.
Statement -II: Primary alcohols are most reactive and immediately produce turbidity at room temperature on reaction with Lucas Reagent.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below: (NEET 2022 Phase 2)
(a) Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
(b) Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
(c) Both statement I and Statement II are correct
(d) Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
View AnswerAns: (a)

2017
Q1: The heating of phenylmethyl ethers with HI produces (NEET 2017)
(a) iodobenzene
(b) phenol
(c) benzene
(d) ethyl chlorides
View AnswerAns: (b)
In case of phenyl methyl ether, methyl phenyl oxonium ion
is formed by protonation of ether. The O—CH3 bond is weaker than O—C6H5 bond as O—C6H5 has partial double bond character. Therefore, the attack by I– ion breaks O—CH3 bond to form CH3I.
Q2: Which one is the most acidic compound? (NEET 2017)
(a) 
(b) 
(c) 
(d) 
View AnswerElectron withdrawing group at o and p-position w.r.t. OH group of phenol, increase the acidic strength.
Picric acid (2, 4, 6-trinitrophenol) is extremely more acidic among the given compounds due to the presence of three strong electron withdrawing groups ( NO2 group) at ortho and para-positions.

(a) (I) and (II) only
(b) (IV) only
(c) (III) and (IV) only
(d) (I), (III), and (IV) only
View AnswerAns: (d)
Lucas reagent [HCl + ZnCl2] can be used for
1° / 2° / 3° alcohol but if ZnCl2 is absent then only 3° alcohol can be used because it is most reactive due to 3° carbocation.
Q3: The reaction 
(AIPMT 2015 Cancelled Paper)
(a) Gatterman – Koch reaction
(b) Williamson Synthesis
(c) Williamson's continuous etherification process
(d) Etard reaction
View AnswerAns: (b)
The reaction is called Williamson synthesis

(c) 2, 4, 6 − trinitrophenol
(d) Benzoic acid
View AnswerAns: (a)
Acid reacts with sodium hydrogen carbonate as follows :
Among all the given options ortho-nitrophenol is weaker acid than HCO3 hence, it does not react with NaHCO3.
