    Anisole is the product obtained from phenol by the reaction known as

    A)  coupling

    B)  etherification

    C)  oxidation

    D)  esterification

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     In presence of \[NaOH\] or \[KOH\], phenol reacts with alkyi halide and gives phenolic ether  . \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}OH+NaOH\xrightarrow[-{{H}_{2}}O]{}{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}O-Na\] \[\xrightarrow[-NaX]{RX}{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}-O-R\] Vapours of \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}OH\]and \[C{{H}_{3}}OH\], with red hot \[Th{{O}_{2}}\] (tnbria) give anisole (phenolic ether). \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}OH+C{{H}_{3}}OH\xrightarrow[\Delta ]{Th{{O}_{2}}}\underset{anisole}{\mathop{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}C{{H}_{3}}}}\,+{{H}_{2}}O\]
