Dow process is the industrial synthesis of phenol from

A

iodobenzene

B

bromobenzene

C

chlorobenzene

D

fluorobenzene

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`PhCl + 2NaOH underset(320 "atom")overset(360^(@)C)rarr H_(2)O + NaCl + underset("Sodium Phenoxide")(Phoverset(-)ONa^(+)) overset(H_(3)O^(+))rarr underset("Phenol")PhOH`
Chlorobenzene is hydrolysed by fusing with `NaOH` at `360^(@)C` and `320` atmospheric pressure.Phenol is obtained by acidification of sodium phenoxide.
