NaOH solution till it is strongly alkaline.

Cork the test tube and Benzoyl derivative is obtained Phenols, alcohols, primary
shake vigorously. Cool under the tap. Pour the oily product into and secondary amines but
plenty of water and rub with a glass rod to induce NOT tertiary amines can
crystallization. (Filter, wash with plenty of water containing a undergo Acetylation and
little alkali, and finally with water) Benzoylation.
Reactions of Resorcinol (poly phenol)
1.Carry out the fusion with phthalic anhydride as described An intense greenish yellow Formation of Fluorescein,
under phenol and pour it into NaOH solution. fluorescence is obtained An important dye.
2.Add a few drops of FeCl3 to a dilute solution of Resorcinol Blue violet colour
3.Boil 0.05 gms of Resorcinol with 5 cc of 10% NaOH and a few The solutions turned red and
drops of chloroform exhibits Fluorescence
Note: All polyhydric phenols like Catechol are reducing agents and can reduce Fehling’s and Tollen’s. Aldehydes and reducing
sugars can also cause reduction.
Reactions of Beta-Naphthol
1.Dissolve 4 drops of aniline in 1 cc of water containing 2 drops A scarlet red dye is obtained The dye is Benzene azo
of Conc.H2SO4 to dissolve it. Cool the solution thrououghly in beta-naphthol (the
ice water (below 5 C) and add slowly with shaking 2 cc of NaNO 2 diazonium salt of aniline
solution. After 2 to 3 minutes, add 2 cc of sodium acetate couples with beta-naphthol
solution and pour the mixture into a solution of beta-naphthol to give the above dye)
(0.2 gms) in 4 cc of 10% NaOH
2.To a warm aqueous solution of beta-naphthol, add a few No colour develops but only a
drops of FeCl3 solution white opalescence is observed
AROMATIC AMINES
Reactions of Aromatic Primary Amines
Representative sample: Aniline
1.To 3 drops of aniline in a test tube add Dil.HCl drop by drop Aniline dissolves completely Amines being basic, forms
forming a salt. To the salt add salts with acids
NaOH drop by drop. The
aniline is generated as an oil
2.To 5 cc of the aqueous solution of aniline contained in a 100 A copious white precipitate is Formation of symmetrical
cc beaker, add saturated Bromine water drop by drop till there obtained which settles easily if Tri bromo aniline
is a slight excess of it a piece of ice is added.
