Two aromatic compounds having formula -C-7-H-8-O which are easily identifiable by Fe-Cl-3- solution test -violet colouration- are-o-cresol and benzyl alcoholm-cresol and p-cresolmethyl phenyl ether and benzyl alcoholo-cresol and p-cresol

Question

Toppr Admin · Accepted Answer

O- m- and p- cresol all contain the phenolic group- thus they give violet coloration with FeCl3 whereas benzyl alcohol and methyl phenyl ether do not contain the phenolic group- hence give no coloration with FeCl3-xA0-Hence the pair of compounds which are identifiable by FeCl3 is o-cresol and benzyl alcohol-Option A is correct-

Two aromatic compounds having formula C7H8O which are easily identifiable by FeCl3 solution test (violet colouration) are:o-cresol and benzyl alcoholm-cresol and p-cresolmethyl phenyl ether and benzyl alcoholo-cresol and p-cresol
