in the synthesis of 2-ehtoxynaphthalene, both phenol and ethyl alcohol contain OH group, but only the phenolic OH group reacts to any extent . why?
Due to phenols are more acidic as compared to alcohols.
One more reason- In phenol Partially double bond character is present and it is also showing +mesomeric effect , but in ethyl alcohal no Mesomeric effect and partially double bond character.
so phenolic OH groupreacts to any extent.

This was a william ether synthesis experiment where 4-ethyl phenol and ethyl bromide gave us our product 1-ethoxy-4-ethylbenzene. The organic layer was stirred with silica gel to remove any remaining 4-ethyl phenol from the solution. Why is this step only selective for the starting material(4-ethyl phenol) but not to the product?
For the following reaction, why is only one OH group converted to an ether and not both? ?? OR ROH (unknown alcohol) 1M H2SO4 ?? ??

How is this done? Molecules that contain both carbonyl (C = O) and alcohol (OH) functional groups are often more stable as cyclic hemiacetals, as opposed to their open chain form. Given the following cyclic structure, draw the structure of the open chain form.
