Answer:
See the explanation
Explanation:
In this case, in order to get an <u>elimination reaction</u> we need to have a <u>strong base</u>. In this case, the base is the phenoxide ion produced the phenol (see figure 1).
Due to the resonance, we will have a more stable anion therefore we will have a less strong base because the negative charge is moving around the molecule (see figure 2).
Finally, the phenoxide will attack the <u>primary carbon</u> attached to the Cl. The C-Cl bond would be broken and the C-O would be produced <u>at the same time</u> to get a substitution (see figure 1).
