Two aromatic compounds having formula C(...

Two aromatic compounds having formula `C_(7)H_(8) O` which are easily identified by `FeCl_(3)` solution test (violet colouration ) are `,`

A

o-cresol and benzyl alcohol

B

m-cresol and p-cresol

C

o-cresol and p-cresol

D

methyl phenyl ether and benzyl alcohol

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
o-cresol contains phenolic group, thus it gives violet colouration with `FeCl_(3)` whereas benzyl alcohol do not contains phenolic group.
Hence, no colouration with `FeCl_(3)`. Hence, identifiable.
