What happens when phenol reacts with acetyl chloride?

Explanation: When phenol is reacted with acetyl chloride in the presence of sodium hydroxide, it leads to the formation of phenyl esters and this reaction will lead to the formation of phenyl ethanoate. This reaction shows the acidic nature of phenol.

What is the product in the given reaction when benzyl chloride reacts with phenol?

phenyl
The reaction of phenol with benzoyl chloride to give phenyl.

What does ethanoyl chloride react with?

Ethanoyl chloride reacts instantly with cold ethanol. There is a very exothermic reaction in which a steamy acidic gas is given off (hydrogen chloride). Ethyl ethanoate (an ester) is formed.

Why is ethanoyl chloride not used in industry?

In industry, ethanoic anhydride is used rather than ethanoyl chloride for practical purposes. Ethanoyl chloride is very reactive with water and any moisture produces hydrogen chloride gas. This can build up inside containers and pressurise them. This makes ethanoyl chloride irritating and difficult to handle.

What happens when phenol reacts with C6H5COCl?

Answer: phenol reacts with pocl3 to Form benzyl chloride and phosphoric Acid.

In which reaction Benzoylation of phenol takes place?

Schotten-Baumann reaction
As the name suggests, benzoylation is the process of inserting a ‘benzoyl’ in any compound. Phenol is an alcohol and has one hydrogen it is capable of donating. and the objective is benzoylation of the compound. Therefore, we can conclude that benzoylation of phenol can be done by Schotten-Baumann reaction.

What type of reaction is acyl chloride and water?

Ethanoyl chloride reacts instantly with cold water. There is a very exothermic reaction in which a steamy acidic gas is given off (hydrogen chloride) and ethanoic acid is formed.

What type of reaction is acyl chloride?

Acid chlorides react with carboxylic acids to form anhydrides. Acid chlorides react with water to form carboxylic acids. Acid chlorides react with ammonia, 1o amines and 2o amines to form amides.

Why is Ethanoyl chloride used to make aspirin?

Although this reaction can also be done with ethanoyl chloride, aspirin is manufactured by reacting 2-hydroxybenzoic acid with ethanoic anhydride at 90°C. Ethanoic anhydride is safer to use than ethanoyl chloride. It is less corrosive and not so readily hydrolysed (its reaction with water is slower).
