Phenol $\rightarrow$ Benzyl alcohol

Vedclass · Answer

(A) Heated copper $(Cu)$ at $300\,^oC$ acts as a dehydrogenating agent for primary and secondary alcohols,and a dehydrating agent for tertiary alcohols. $1.$ Primary alcohols $(R-CH_2OH)$ are dehydrogenated to aldehydes. $2.$ Secondary alcohols $(R_2CHOH)$ are dehydrogenated to ketones. $3.$ Tertiary alcohols $(R_3COH)$ undergo dehydration to form alkenes (olefins). $4.$ Phenol does not undergo these specific reactions with heated copper to form benzyl alcohol; therefore,the reaction $Phenol \rightarrow Benzyl \ alcohol$ is incorrect.

Which of the following reactions will $NOT$ occur with heated copper at $300\,^oC$?
