Methoxybenzene is prepared from phenol by using the reagents:

A

NaOH, then `CH_3OH`

B

NaOH, then `CH_3OSO_3CH_3`

C

NaOH, then `CH_3OCH_3`

D

(A) and (B)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Phenols can be converted to ethersthrough Williamson synthesis. Because phenols are more acidic than alcohols, they can be converted to sodium phenoxides through use of sodium hydroxides. The general reaction :
