How is phenol obtained from aniline?
A diazonium salt is formed by treating an aromatic primary amine with nitrous acid (NaNO2 + HCl) at 273-278 K. Diazonium salts are hydrolysed to phenols by warming with water or by treating with
dilute acids.
If an alcohol is treated with excess of sulphuric acid, no esterification takes place. Why?
Ethanol and chloro ethane both are polar in nature yet ethanol is miscible in water while chloro ethane is immiscible. Explain.
