Question
Answer in brief.
Give the equations of the reactions for the preparation of phenol from isopropyl benezene.
Advertisements
Solution
Isopropylbenzene: This is the commercial method of preparation of phenol. Isopropylbenzene (Cumene) on air oxidation in presence of Conaphthenate gives cumene hydroperoxide, which on decomposition with dilute acid gives phenol with acetone as a valuable by-product.
