Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 68P
Hydrocarbons like benzene are
phenols. This is an example of a general process in the body, in which an unwanted compound
(benzene) is converted to a more water-soluble derivative called a metabolite, so that it can be
excreted more readily from the body.
a. Classify each of these reactions as oxidation, reduction, or neither.
b. Explain why phenol is more water soluble than benzene. This means that phenol dissolves in urine, which is largely water, to a greater extent than benzene.
