The correct Answer is:
To determine in which of the given reactions phenol or sodium phenoxide is not formed, we can analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the First Reaction - **Reaction**: Benzene sulfonic acid + Aqueous KOH - **Expected Product**: When benzene sulfonic acid reacts with aqueous KOH, it undergoes hydrolysis to form phenol. - **Conclusion**: Phenol is formed. ### Step 2: Analyze the Second Reaction - **Reaction**: Benzene chloride + NaOH - **Expected Product**: Benzene chloride does not undergo nucleophilic substitution with NaOH due to the strong C-Cl bond (sp² hybridized carbon). Thus, there is no reaction. - **Conclusion**: Neither phenol nor sodium phenoxide is formed. ### Step 3: Analyze the Third Reaction - **Reaction**: A compound (not specified) + Aqueous NaOH - **Expected Product**: This reaction typically results in the formation of sodium phenoxide when a suitable leaving group is present. - **Conclusion**: Sodium phenoxide is formed. ### Step 4: Analyze the Fourth Reaction - **Reaction**: Benzene diazonium salt + Water - **Expected Product**: The diazonium salt reacts with water, leading to the formation of phenol. - **Conclusion**: Phenol is formed. ### Final Conclusion From the analysis of all reactions, we find that in the second reaction (Benzene chloride + NaOH), neither phenol nor sodium phenoxide is formed. Therefore, the correct answer is that phenol or sodium phenoxide is not formed in the second reaction.
