What is the reaction of phenol with magnesium
Accepted Answer
Phenol does not react directly with magnesium under normal conditions. Phenol is a weak acid, and magnesium is a reactive metal. However, the reaction of phenol with magnesium can be initiated under specific conditions, such as the presence of a strong base or heat. In such conditions, the reaction would likely produce magnesium phenoxide and hydrogen gas.
