$p$-Hydroxyacetophenone

Vedclass · Answer

(C) The reaction of phenol with acetyl chloride $(CH_3COCl)$ in the presence of a base forms phenyl acetate as product $(P)$.This is an esterification reaction.When phenyl acetate $(P)$ is heated with anhydrous $AlCl_3$,it undergoes Fries rearrangement to form a mixture of $o$-hydroxyacetophenone and $p$-hydroxyacetophenone.$p$-Hydroxyacetophenone is the major product $(Q)$ at higher temperatures.Therefore,the correct option is $(C)$.
