JEE AdvancedChemistryAlcohols Phenols and EthersMultiple correct+4 / −2
Reaction of iso-propylbenzene with O2\mathrm{O}_2O2​ followed by the treatment with H3O+\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{O}^{+}H3​O+ forms phenol and a by-product P\mathbf{P}P. Reaction of P\mathbf{P}P with 3 equivalents of Cl2\mathrm{Cl}_2Cl2​ gives compound Q\mathbf{Q}Q. Treatment of Q\mathbf{Q}Q with Ca(OH)2\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_2Ca(OH)2​ produces compound R\mathbf{R}R and calcium salt S\mathbf{S}S.

Correct answer: A, B, D

  1. Identify P from cumene process

Iso-propylbenzene is cumene. On oxidation with O2\mathrm{O_2}O2​ followed by acidic hydrolysis, cumene hydroperoxide gives:

cumene→H3O+O2phenol+acetone\text{cumene} \xrightarrow[\mathrm{H_3O^+}]{\mathrm{O_2}} \text{phenol} + \text{acetone}cumeneO2​H3​O+​phenol+acetone

So,

P=CH3COCH3(acetone)\mathbf{P} = \mathrm{CH_3COCH_3} \quad (\text{acetone})P=CH3​COCH3​(acetone)


  1. Identify \mathbf{Q} from reaction of acetone with 3 equivalents of chlorine

Acetone is a methyl ketone. Exhaustive α\alphaα-chlorination of both methyl groups with 3 equivalents of Cl2\mathrm{Cl_2}Cl2​ gives:

CH3COCH3→3 eqCl2CH3COCCl3  or equivalent trichloro ketone?\mathrm{CH_3COCH_3} \xrightarrow[3\,eq]{Cl_2} \mathrm{CH_3COCCl_3} \;\text{or equivalent trichloro ketone?}CH3​COCH3​Cl2​3eq​CH3​COCCl3​or equivalent trichloro ketone?

But from the next step with Ca(OH)2\mathrm{Ca(OH)_2}Ca(OH)2​, this must be the haloform-type cleavage precursor, namely chloral-related chemistry obtained through chlorination of acetone to give trichloroacetone:

Q=CH3COCCl3\mathbf{Q} = \mathrm{CH_3COCCl_3}Q=CH3​COCCl3​

Then with Ca(OH)2\mathrm{Ca(OH)_2}Ca(OH)2​:

2 CH3COCCl3+Ca(OH)2→2 CHCl3+Ca(CH3COO)22\,\mathrm{CH_3COCCl_3} + \mathrm{Ca(OH)_2} \rightarrow 2\,\mathrm{CHCl_3} + \mathrm{Ca(CH_3COO)_2}2CH3​COCCl3​+Ca(OH)2​→2CHCl3​+Ca(CH3​COO)2​

Thus,

R=CHCl3(chloroform)\mathbf{R} = \mathrm{CHCl_3} \quad (\text{chloroform})R=CHCl3​(chloroform) S=Ca(CH3COO)2(calcium acetate)\mathbf{S} = \mathrm{Ca(CH_3COO)_2} \quad (\text{calcium acetate})S=Ca(CH3​COO)2​(calcium acetate)


  1. Check option A

P\mathbf{P}P is acetone and R\mathbf{R}R is chloroform. In presence of KOH\mathrm{KOH}KOH, they undergo the reaction used in chloretone synthesis:

CH3COCH3+CHCl3→KOH(CH3)2C(OH)CCl3\mathrm{CH_3COCH_3 + CHCl_3 \xrightarrow{KOH} (CH_3)_2C(OH)CCl_3}CH3​COCH3​+CHCl3​KOH​(CH3​)2​C(OH)CCl3​

This is chloretone (chlorobutanol), obtained after acidification/workup.

Hence statement A is correct.


  1. Check option B

R\mathbf{R}R is chloroform. Chloroform on oxidation by air/oxygen in presence of light gives phosgene:

2CHCl3+O2→hν2COCl2+2HCl2\mathrm{CHCl_3} + \mathrm{O_2} \xrightarrow{h\nu} 2\mathrm{COCl_2} + 2\mathrm{HCl}2CHCl3​+O2​hν​2COCl2​+2HCl

So statement B is correct.


  1. Check option C

If Q=CH3COCCl3\mathbf{Q} = \mathrm{CH_3COCCl_3}Q=CH3​COCCl3​, then with aqueous NaOH\mathrm{NaOH}NaOH it undergoes haloform cleavage to give:

CH3COCCl3+NaOH→CHCl3+CH3COONa\mathrm{CH_3COCCl_3 + NaOH \rightarrow CHCl_3 + CH_3COONa}CH3​COCCl3​+NaOH→CHCl3​+CH3​COONa

It does not give Cl3CCH2OH\mathrm{Cl_3CCH_2OH}Cl3​CCH2​OH and Cl3CCOONa\mathrm{Cl_3CCOONa}Cl3​CCOONa.

Hence C is incorrect.


  1. Check option D

S\mathbf{S}S is calcium acetate. On dry distillation/heating, calcium salts of carboxylic acids give ketones:

Ca(CH3COO)2→ΔCH3COCH3\mathrm{Ca(CH_3COO)_2 \xrightarrow{\Delta} CH_3COCH_3}Ca(CH3​COO)2​Δ​CH3​COCH3​

Thus heating S\mathbf{S}S gives acetone, i.e. P\mathbf{P}P.

So D is correct.


  1. Final answer

Correct statements are:

A,  B,  D\boxed{A,\; B,\; D}A,B,D​

This matches the stored correct answer.
