Assertion (A) : Chlorobenzene is not formed in the reaction of phenol with thionyl chloride.

Reason (R) : In phenol, carbon - oxygen bond has partial double bond character.

The correct answer is :

Phenol is mainly manufactured from a compound $X$ by subjecting it to oxidation in air followed by treating with dilute acid. Identify the compound $X$.
