    Which of the following compounds does not react with NaOH?

    A) \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\]

    B) \[C{{H}_{3}}CON{{H}_{2}}\]

    C) \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}OH\]

    D) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OH\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\xrightarrow[-{{H}_{2}}O]{NaOH}C{{H}_{3}}COONa\] \[C{{H}_{3}}CON{{H}_{2}}\xrightarrow{NaOH}C{{H}_{3}}COONa+N{{H}_{3}}\] \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}OH\xrightarrow{NaOH}{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}ONa+{{H}_{2}}O\] But alcohols are weakly acidic even weaker than water and react with alkali metals to form alkoxides and not with alkali.
