(a) How will you convert the following :
(i) Phenol to benzoquinone
(ii) Propanone to 2-methyl propan-2-ol
(b) Why does propanol have higher boiling point than that of butane ?
(a)
(1) Phenol to benzoquinone.
(2) Propanone to 2-methylpropan-2-ol
(b) Propanol have higher boiling point than that of butane because propanol is associated with each other through intermolecular hydrogen bonding which are stronger than vanderwaal forces.
