Options

  1. ABy treating chlorobenzene with sodium metal.
  2. BBy heating chlorobenzene with concentrated sulfuric acid.
  3. CChlorobenzene is fused with NaOH (at 623K and 320 atm pressure) to produce sodium phenoxide, which gives pheno
  4. DBy reduction of chlorobenzene using hydrogen gas (H 2 ).

Correct answer

C. Chlorobenzene is fused with NaOH (at 623K and 320 atm pressure) to produce sodium phenoxide, which gives pheno

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (C) Chlorobenzene is fused with NaOH (at 623K and 320 atm pressure) to produce sodium phenoxide, which gives phenol on acidification.
