Two aromatic compounds having formula C7H8O which are easily identifiable by FeCl3 solution test (violet colouration) are:
o-cresol and benzyl alcohol
m-cresol and p-cresol
o-cresol and p-cresol
methyl phenyl ether and benzyl alcohol
A.
o-cresol and benzyl alcohol
o-, m- and p- cresol all contain phenolic group, thus they give violet colouration with FeCl3 whereas benzyl alcohol and methyl phenyl ether do not contain phenolic group, hence give no colouration with FeCl3. Hence the pair of compounds which are identifiable by FeCl3 is o-cresol and benzyl alcohol.
