Best Answer

C6H5OH + CH3Cl -----(AlCl3)-----> C6H5OHCH3 + HCl

phenol + chloromethane ----> 2-methylphenol

C6H5OHCH3 -----(alkaline KMnO4, then acidify with HCl)-----> C6H5OHCOOH

2-methylphenol -----> 2-hydroxybenzenecarboxylic acid

C6H5OHCOOH + (CH3CO)2O (ethanoic anhydride) -----(c.H2SO4 catalyst)-----> aspirin (C6H5OCOCH3COOH) + (ethanoic acid) CH3COOH

Chemical properties for the Phenol formaldehyde?

Simple phenolic resins are condensation polymers formed from phenol and formaldehyde. Therefore, they contain only the elements found in phenol and formaldehyde: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The characteristic bond for a cured phenolic resin is a methylene group, derived from a formaldehyde molecule, joining two aromatic rings derived from two phenol molecules. A wide variety of structural formulas are possible, because resins can be made from a variety of ratios between phenol and formaldehyde.
