Among the following sets of reactants which one produces anisole?

1. CH3CHO; RMgX
2. C6H5OH; NaOH; CH3I
3. C6H5OH; neutral FeCl3
4. C6H5CH3; CH3COCl; AlCl3

Correct answer: C6H5OH; NaOH; CH3I

Solution

Anisole (C6H5OCH3) is formed when phenol (C6H5OH) reacts with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to form phenoxide ion, which then undergoes methylation with methyl iodide (CH3I).
