Assertion: Arylhalides cannot be-prepared by replacement of hydroxyl group of phenol by halogen atom.
Reason : Phenols react with halogen acids violently

A

If both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

B

If both (A) and (R) are correct, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

C

If (A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect.

D

If both (A) and (R) are incorrect.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Aryl halides cannot be prepared by replacing hydroxyl group of phenols because the carbon oxygen bond in phenols has apartial double bond character and is difficult to break being stronger than a single bond,
