Conversion of Phenol into Toluene .

Explanation

To convert phenol into toluene, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Conversion of Phenol to Benzene
1. **React Phenol with Zinc Dust**:
- Take phenol (C6H5OH) and treat it with zinc dust (Zn) and heat the mixture.
- The reaction will result in the removal of the hydroxyl group (OH) from phenol, leading to the formation of benzene (C6H6) and zinc oxide (ZnO) as a byproduct.
- **Chemical Reaction**:
