Which of the following compounds does not react with $$NaOH?$$
A.
$$C{H_3}COOH$$
B.
$$C{H_3}CON{H_2}$$
C.
$${C_6}{H_5}OH$$
D.
$$C{H_3}C{H_2}OH$$
Answer :
$$C{H_3}C{H_2}OH$$
Solution :
\[\begin{align}
& C{{H}_{3}}COOH\xrightarrow[-{{H}_{2}}O]{NaOH}C{{H}_{3}}COONa \\
& C{{H}_{3}}CON{{H}_{2}}\xrightarrow{NaOH}C{{H}_{3}}COONa+N{{H}_{3}} \\
& {{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}OH\xrightarrow{NaOH}{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}ONa+{{H}_{2}}O \\
\end{align}\]
But alcohols are weakly acidic even weaker than water and react with alkali metals to form alkoxides and not with alkalies.
