Chemistry : Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers

How will you convert 

Phenol to 2, 4, 6- trinitrophenol?

Although phenoxide ion has more number of resonating structures than Carboxylate ion, Carboxylic acid is a stronger acid than phenol. Give two reasons.

Complete the following reactions:

Give simple chemical tests to distinguish between the following pairs of compounds:

(i) Ethanal and Propanal

(ii) Benzoic acid and Phenol

Draw the structural formula of a 2-methylpropan-2-ol molecule.

Arrange the following compounds in an increasing order of their reactivity in nucleophilic addition reactions: ethanol, propanal, propanone, butanone.

Draw the structure and name the product formed if the following alcohols are oxidised. Assume that an excess of oxidising agent is used.

(i) CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂OH

(ii) 2-butenol

(iii) 2-methyl-1-proponal

Write chemical equation for the following conversions:

(i) Nitrobenzene to benzoic acid.

(ii) Benzyl chloride to 2-phenylethanamine.

(iii) Aniline to benzyl alcohol.

How would you obtain 

(i) Picric acid (2, 4, 6-trinitrophenol) from phenol, 

(ii) 2-Methylpropene from 2-methylpropanol? 

How do you convert the following:

(i) C₆H₅CONH₂ to C₆H₅NH₂

(ii) Aniline to phenol

(iii) Ethanenitrile to ethanamine
