Alcohol reaction with NaNH

Problem 11.42 Explain the following observations, (a) A yellow color is obtained when Ph,COH (trityl alcohol) is reacted with concentrated H2SO4, or when PhjCCI is treated with AICI,. On adding HjO, the color disappears and a white solid is formed, (b) Ph,CCl is prepared by the Friedel-Crafts reaction of benzene and CCI4. It does not react with more benzene to form PhjC. (c) A deep-red solution appears when Ph,CH is added to a solution of NaNH in liquid NH3. The color disappears on adding water, (d) A red color appears when PhjCCl reacts with Zn in C H. Oj decolorizes the solution. ...
