Write a balanced chemical equation for each of the following reactions:

a. Phenol + sodium hydroxide

b. Product of part (a) + ethyl bromide

c. Product of part (a) + butyl p-toluenesulfonate

d. Product of part (a) + acetic anhydride

e. o-Cresol + benzoyl chloride

f. m-Cresol + ethylene oxide

g. 2,6-Dichlorophenol + bromine

h. p-Cresol + excess aqueous bromine

i. Isopropyl phenyl ether + excess hydrogen bromide + heat

See explanation

Explanation:

a) Phenol + sodium hydroxide

C6H5OH + NaOH → C6H5ONa + H2O

b. Product of part (a) + ethyl bromide

C6H5ONa + C2H5Br → C6H5OC2H5 + NaBr

c. Product of part (a) + butyl p-toluenesulfonate

C6H5ONa + C11H16O3S → C13H12O3S + C4H9ONa

d. Product of part (a) + acetic anhydride

C6H5ONa + C4H6O3 → C8H8O2 + C2H3O2Na

e. o-Cresol + benzoyl chloride

C7H8O + C7H5ClO → C14H12O2 + HCl

f. m-Cresol + ethylene oxide

C7H8O + C2H4O → C9H12O2

g. 2,6-Dichlorophenol + bromine

C6H4Cl2O + Br2 → C6H3BrCl2O + HBr

h. p-Cresol + excess aqueous bromine

C7H8O + 2Br2 → C7H6Br2O + 2HBr

i. Isopropyl phenyl ether + excess hydrogen bromide + heat

C9H12O + HBr → C6H5OH + C3H7Br
