Phenetole is

  • A.Ethoxybenzene
  • B.Methoxyethane
  • C.Methoxybenzene
  • D.1-Methoxypropane
  • E.2-Methoxypropane

Answer: A

Phenetole is Ethoxybenzene, C6H5OC2H5.

Phenetole is the common name of the ethyl phenyl ether: an ethoxy group (-OC2H5) attached to a benzene ring. Its IUPAC name is ethoxybenzene.

Methoxybenzene is anisole, the methyl phenyl ether, the usual confusion with phenetole. Methoxyethane is ethyl methyl ether, and 1-methoxypropane and 2-methoxypropane are methyl propyl and methyl isopropyl ethers; none of these contains a benzene ring.
