Question

Which of the following reactions will not result in the formation of anisole ?

A. Phenol + dimethyl sulphate in presence of a base
B. Sodium phenoxide is treated with methyl iodide
C. Reaction of diazomethane with phenol
D. Reaction of methylmagnesium iodide with phenol  
Answer :   Reaction of methylmagnesium iodide with phenol
Solution :
Phenol has active (acidic) hydrogen so it reacts with $$C{H_3}MgI$$   to give $$C{H_4},$$  and not anisole $${C_6}{H_5}OH + C{H_3}MgI \to $$      $$C{H_4} + {C_6}{H_5}OMgI$$
