Benzene ring in phenol is expected to give the characteristic substitution or replacement reactions i.e. halogenation, nitration, sulphonation, alkylation etc. In these reactions, the attacking reagent is electrophile. The phenolic group activates the ortho and para positions in the ring due to conjugation. Disubstitution reactions are quite fast as the electron density in the ring has increased considerably. Phenols do not respond to nucleophilic substitution reactions as it is influenced by phenolic group.
Victor Meyer test gives following observations. Match List I with List II:
| List-I | List-II |
| A. Blood red colouration | I. Tertiary alcohol |
| B. Blue colouration | II. Phenols |
| C. Colourless solution | III. Primary alcohol |
| D. Violet colouration with \(\text{FeCl}_3\) | IV. Secondary alcohol |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A А-III, В-IV, C-I, D-II
- B А-III, В-І, С-IV, D-II
- C A-IV, В-II, С-I, D-I
- D А-IV, В-III, С-1, D-I
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) А-III, В-IV, C-I, D-II
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
A. Blood red colouration: Primary alcohol (III) B. Blue colouration: Secondary alcohol (IV) C. Colourless solution: Tertiary alcohol (I) D. Violet colouration with \( \text{FeCl}_3 \): Phenols (II) Therefore, the correct match is A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II.
