\[\text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\text{COCl}\]does not react with:

A)  diethyl ether   

B)  phenol

C)  ethanol        

D)  aniline

Correct Answer: B

Solution :

 \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}O{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}+C{{H}_{3}}\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,Cl\xrightarrow{ZnC{{l}_{2}}}\] \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}Cl+C{{H}_{3}}COO{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\] \[C{{H}_{3}}COO{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}+HCl\] Aceryl chloride does not react direct with phenol. Firstly phenol reacts with alkali to form sodium phenoxide which reacts with acetyl, chloride to give phenyl acetate.
