Q. Which of the following reactions will not yield $p$-tert butylphenol?
A) $CH_{3}$
$|$
Phenol $+ CH_{3} - C = CH_{2}\ \overset{{\ \ H}^{+}\ }{\rightarrow}$
B) Phenol $+ \left( CH_{3} \right)_{3}COH\ \overset{{\ \ H}^{+}\ }{\rightarrow}$
C) Phenol $+ \left( CH_{3} \right)_{3}C.Cl\ \overset{\ AlCl_{3}\ \ }{\rightarrow}$
D) Phenol $+ CHCl_{3}\ \overset{\ \ NaOH\ \ }{\rightarrow}$
Explanation
(d)
Phenol, on refluxing with chloroform and sodium hydroxide followed by hydrolysis yields $o$-hydroxy benzaldehyde
