How would you obtain: anisole from phenol?

Why pulping process is carried? 

The purpose of pulping is to separate cellulose fibres from the other components of the fibre source. In the case of wood, these include hemicellulose (with 15 to 90 repeated sugar units), lignins ( highly polymerized and complex, mainly phenyl propane units; they act as the "glue " that cements the fibres together), extractives ( fats, waxes, alcohol, phenols and so on), and minerals and other Inorganics.

How would you distinguish ethanol propan-2-ol and 2-methylpropan-2-ol by victor Meyer's method?

Define: a. Perkin's condensationb. Aldol condensationc. Cannizaro reactiond. Benzoin condensation e. Wolf Kishner reactionf. Carbylamine reaction 

a. Perkin's condensation:The reaction between an aromatic aldehyde and the anhydride of an aliphatic acid in the presence of sodium salt of the same acid, leading to the formation of an alpha, beta unsaturated acid is called Perkin's reaction. For example, benzaldehyde and acetic anhydride give cinnamic acid.

benzaldehyde + acetic anhydride --CH₃COONA (455K)----> Cinnamic acid + CH₃COOH

b. Aldol Condensation:Aldehydes and Ketones having at least one alpha-hydrogen atom in the presence of...

Why is halogenation of alkanes not a pure synthetic method for preparing alkyl halides?

1. Direct fluorination of alkanes is highly exothermic and explosive making it difficult to control.
2.Direct iodination of alkanes is highly reversible and difficult to carry out.

3. In direct chlorination and bromination, the reaction can lead to different isomeric monohalogenated alkanes (alkyl halides) as well as polyhalogenated alkanes.

Hence, halogenation of alkanes is not a good method of preparation of alkyl halides.
