11.70 Give equations of the following reactions: (i) Oxidation of propan-1-ol with alkaline KMnO4 solution. (ii) Bromine in CS2 with phenol. (iii) Dilute HNO3 with phenol. (iv) Treating phenol with chloroform in presence of aqueous NaOH. 

<p><strong>11.70</strong></p><p>Oxidation of propane-1-ol with alkaline KMnO₄ solution gives propanoic acid as the product. As the oxidation of primary alcohol gives carboxylic acid as the major product in the presence of a strong oxidizing reagent. And here KMnO₄ is a very strong oxidizing agent.</p><p>A mixture of o-bromo phenol and p-bromo phenol is formed.</p><p>The formation of 2 products depends totally on the reaction conditions.</p><p>Dilute HNO₃ with phenol.</p><p>Only dilute acid will be required for the nitration of phenol, nitric acid contains a small amount of nitrous acid which because of the activation of the ring will be more than enough to nitrate the phenol. Two products are formed 2-nitrophenol (ortho) and 4-nitrophenol (para).</p><p>Treating Phenol with chloroform in presence of aqueous NaOH results in the formation of salicylaldehyde (Reimer-Tiemann reaction)</p>
