Telangana Board Solutions for Chapter: Organic Compounds Containing C, H And O (Alcohols, Phenols, Ethers, Aldehydes, Ketones And Carboxylic Acids), Exercise 6: Questions

Give the structures and IUPAC names of monohydric phenols of molecular formula, ${\mathrm{C}}_7{\mathrm{H}}_8\mathrm{O}$.

Draw the structures of all isomeric alcohols of molecular formula ${\mathrm{C}}_5{\mathrm{H}}_{12}\mathrm{O}$ and give their IUPAC names and classify them as primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols.

Write the products formed by the reduction and oxidation of phenol.

Ethanol with ${\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4$ at $443 \mathrm{K}$ forms ethene while at $413 \mathrm{K}$ forms ethoxy ethane. Explain the mechanism.

Account for the statement: Alcohols boil at high temperatures than hydrocarbons and ethers of comparable molecular masses.

Explain why in anisole electrophilic substitution takes place at ortho and para positions and not at meta position.

Write the product of the following reaction :

Explain why phenol with bromine water forms $2,4,6$-Tribromophenol while on reaction with bromine in ${\mathrm{CS}}_2$ at low temperatures forms para-bromophenol as the major product.
