Reaction of iso-propylbenzene with O ₂ followed by the treatment with H ₃ O ⁺ forms phenol and a by-product P . Reaction of P with 3 equivalents of Cl ₂ gives compound Q . Treatment of Q with Ca ( OH )₂ produces compound R and calcium salt S . The correct statement(s) regarding P , Q , R and S is(are)
Options
- AReaction of R with O ₂ in the presence of light gives phosgene gas
- BQ reacts with aqueous NaOH to produce Cl ₃ CCH ₂ OH and Cl ₃ CCOONa
- CS on heating gives P
Correct answer
A. Reaction of R with O ₂ in the presence of light gives phosgene gas
