Alcohol, Phenols and Ethers

Assertion : Phenol reacts with \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{I}\) in presence of \(\mathrm{NaOH}\) to form methoxybenzene.
Reason : Phenoxide is better nucleophile than phenol.

Assertion : Tert-butyl methyl ether react with \(\mathrm{HBr}\) to form tert butyl, \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3 \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{Br}\) and \(\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{OH}\), methanal.
Reason : It follows \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1\) mecha...

Assertion (A) \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{OH}\) and \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{OH}\) can be distinguished by haloform test.
Reason (R) Haloform test is given by \(2^{\circ}\) alcohol.

Assertion (A) IUPAC name of the compound

Reason (R) In IUPAC nomenclature, ether is regarded as hydrocarbon derivative in which a hydrogen atom is replaced by-OR or- \(\mathrm{O} A r\) group [where, \(R=\) alkyl group and $$A r=\operatorna...
