Reaction(s) among the following can yield phenol:

(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)


Choose the correct option
1. (a, b, c)
2. (b, c, d)
3. (a, c, d)
4. (a, b, d)

Hint: Chlorobenzene reacts with NaOH at very high temperature and pressure

Haloarenes are less reactive toward nucleophilic substitution reactions. Therefore, it requires very high temperature and pressure. Chlorobenzene does not undergo hydrolysis on treatment with aqu. NaOH at 298 K and 1 atm.

The reactions are as follows:



Therefore, the correct options are (a), (b), and (c)
