Correct option: D

{\mathrm{C}_6}{\mathrm{H}_5}\mathrm{OH}

Option D (

{\mathrm{C}_6}{\mathrm{H}_5}\mathrm{OH}

) is correct because it represents phenol, where the OH group is directly attached to the benzene ring, making it an aromatic alcohol (phenol) rather than an aliphatic alcohol.

Ethers are made free from peroxide linkage on distilling impure sample with: The product 'B' in the following reaction is

{\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_3}{\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_2}{\text{OH}}\xrightarrow{{{\text{PCC}}}}{\text{A}}\xrightarrow[{\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right){\text{ }}{{\text{H}}_2}{\text{O/}}{{\text{H}}^ + }}]{{\left( {\text{i}} \right){\text{ HCN}}}}{\text{B}}

Fenton’s reagent is: Assertion:- Isopropyl benzene reacts with

\mathrm{O}_2

and acid gives phenol.

Reason:- Initially isopropyl benzene converts into 2-phenyl propan-2-ol. When an ether is treated with

{\mathrm{P}_2}{\mathrm{S}_5}

we get: Physical properties of:
