Among the following sets of reactants which one produces anisole?
A $CH_3CHO$; RMgX
B $C_6H_5OH$; NaOH; $CH_3I$
C $C_6H_5OH$; neutral $FeCl_3$
D $C_6H_5-CH_3$; $CH_3COCl$; $AlCl_3$

Detailed Solution

$C_6H_5OH \xrightarrow[-H_2O]{NaOH} C_6H_5O^-Na^+ \xrightarrow[(S_N2)]{CH_3I} C_6H_5-O-CH_3$ (anisole)
