A) Liebermanns reaction
B) Phthalein fusion test
C) Reimer Tiemann reaction
D) Schotten-Baumann reaction
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
\[Phenol\xrightarrow{NaN{{O}_{2}}/{{H}_{2}}S{{o}_{4}}}B\xrightarrow{{{H}_{2}}O}\] \[C\xrightarrow{NaOH}D\] This is Liebermanns nitroso reaction of phenol. When phenol is warmed with sodium nitrite and 1 cc. cone. \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\], blue colour is obtained which on adding water, becomes red. This again turns to blue on adding \[NaOH\]. Deep blue colour is due to the formation of sodium salt of indophenol.You need to login to perform this action.
