The correct Answer is:
To determine the name of the reaction involving phenol and its subsequent transformations, we will analyze each step of the reaction sequence provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Reaction of Phenol with Sodium Nitrite and Concentrated Sulfuric Acid**: - When phenol (C6H5OH) reacts with sodium nitrite (NaNO2) in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4), it forms a nitroso derivative known as para-nitrosophenol (B). - The reaction can be summarized as: \[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{OH} + \text{NaNO}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_4\text{(NO)}\text{OH} + \text{HSO}_4^- \] 2. **Hydrolysis of Para-Nitrosophenol**: - The product B (para-nitrosophenol) then reacts with water (H2O) to yield a compound known as phenol endophenol (C). - This reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_4\text{(NO)}\text{OH} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{(OH)} + \text{HNO} \] 3. **Reaction of Phenol Endophenol with Sodium Hydroxide**: - Finally, phenol endophenol (C) reacts with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to form the sodium salt of phenol endophenol (D). - The reaction can be summarized as: \[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{(OH)} + \text{NaOH} \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{(O}^-\text{)}\text{Na}^+ + \text{H}_2\text{O} \] 4. **Conclusion**: - The entire reaction sequence described is known as **Lieberman's Reaction**. This reaction is characterized by the formation of a nitroso derivative from phenol, followed by hydrolysis and subsequent formation of a sodium salt. ### Final Answer: The name of the above reaction is **Lieberman's Reaction**.
