What obsrevation happen in the reaction of phenol with magnesium

Accepted Answer

Phenol (C6H5OH) and magnesium (Mg) do not react directly. Phenol is a weak acid and magnesium is a reactive metal. To get a reaction, you would need a strong base, such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), to deprotonate the phenol and create a phenoxide ion, which can then react with magnesium.
