Step-by-step solution
Reaction A: Warming benzene diazonium chloride with water yields phenol. Thus, A matches with R. Reaction B: Bromination of phenol in a non-polar solvent like CS₂ at low temperature ( 273 K) yields monobromophenols, primarily p-bromophenol as the major product. Thus, B matches with P. Reaction C: Phenol reacts with chloroform in the presence of aqueous NaOH followed by acidification to form 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (salicylaldehyde). This is the Reimer-Tiemann reaction. Thus, C matches with S. Reaction D: Phenol react
