Two aromatic compounds having formula \(\mathrm{C}_7 \mathrm{H}_8 \mathrm{O}\) which are easily identifiable by \(\mathrm{FeCl}_3\) solution test (violet colouration) are
- A o- cresol and benzyl alcohol
- B m-cresol and p-cresol
- C o-cresol and p-cresol
- D methyl phenyl ether and benzyl alcohol
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) o- cresol and benzyl alcohol
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Hints: \(\mathrm{O}\) - cresol contains phenolic group, thus it gives violet coloration with \(\mathrm{FeCl}_3\) where as benzylalchol donot contains phenolic group, hence no coloration with \(\mathrm{FeCl}_3\). Hence Identifiable
