Which of the following reagents is used to convert phenol to benzene?
- A Zn (dust)
- B Na
- C KMnO \(_{4}\) (acidified)
- D LiAlH \(_{4}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Zn (dust)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
When phenol is heated with zinc dust, benzene is obtained.
\(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5}-\mathrm{OH}+\mathrm{Zn} \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{6}+\mathrm{ZnO}\)
\(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5}-\mathrm{OH}+\mathrm{Zn} \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{6}+\mathrm{ZnO}\)
