Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Phenols are usually converted into their esters by the actionof acids, acid chlorides, or abhydrides, or anhydrides. When esters of phenols are heated with aluminum chloride, the acyl group migrates from the phenolic oxygen to the ortho or para position of the ring, thus yielding a ketone.

This reaction (called the fries rearrangement) is often used instead of direct acylation for the synthesis of phenolic ketones.
