The yield of chlorobenzene obtained by reaction of phenol with `PCl_5` is less due to the formation of

A

p-chlorophenol

B

o-chlorophenol

C

triphenyl phosphate

D

phosphorus oxychloride

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`C_6H_5OH+PCl_5toC_6H_5Cl+POCl_3+HCI`
`3C_6H_5OH+POCl_3to(C_6H_5)_(3)PO_4+3HCl`
The yield of chlorobenzene is poor because the main product is.triphenyl phosphate.
