Which one of the following reaction sequence is incorrect method to prepare phenol?
Detailed Solution
Chlorobenzene does not react with NaOH at STP; it needs 623 K and 300 atm. Benzene sulphonation (oleum) followed by NaOH fusion and acidification, diazotisation of aniline followed by warming with water, and the cumene process all give phenol.
