Compare the reactivity between ethanol and phenol?

Reactivity in general between the two is quite difficult to compare since the aromatic ring of phenol is able to undergo reactions which ethanol isn't and vice versa. However, there are a number of reactions which can be compared. The first of these is deprotonation, affecting the acidity of the alcohol. Since the subsequent negative charge on the oxygen is stabilised over the benzene ring, phenol is significantly more acid than ethanol (about 100,000 times). Nuclephilic substitution with the alcohol as the nucleophile is likely to be slightly quicker using phenol due to this easier deprotonation creating a stronger nucleophile than the ethanol. Another common reaction is nucleophilic substitution with the alcohol as the electrophile, which occurs fairly easily to ethanol in the presence of an acid. Phenol however, due to its ring, cannot easily react in the same way.

Which is a stronger acid cresol or phenol?

Phenol is more acidic because cresol has +I effect of CH3 grup as you know acidity is reciprocal of +I effect. OR Cresol has electron donating methyl group, whih reduces its electron defficiency of the phenol group and hence acidity.
