detailed solution

Correct option is C

    Phenol reacts with bromine in CS2 at low temperature to give o and p-bromophenol.

 

  • In Reimer-Tiemann reaction, on treating phenol with chloroform in the presence of sodium 1 hydroxide, a - CHO group is introduced at ortho position of benzene ring.

  • Sodium phenoxide is generated by treating phenol with sodium hydroxide. It is treated with carbon dioxide to form ortho-hydroxy benzoic acid(salicylic acid).

 

solution
    The product formed when phenol is treated with acidified solution of Na2​Cr2​O7 is benzoquinone a conjugated diketone. It is an oxidation reaction.
