Q 1 :    

Which one of the following compounds will readily react with dilute NaOH?                           [2024]

  • C6H5OH

     

  • C6H5CH2OH

     

  • (CH3)3COH

     

  • C2H5OH

     

(1)

Acidic strength order is:
Phenols > CH3OH > water > alcohols

Acid-base reactions proceed from stronger to weaker side.
