a) m-CPBA converts the ketone into an ester which upon alkaline hydrolysis, is reduced to phenol and ethanoate.

b) Treatment of acetophenone with alkaline $K M n O_{4}$ followed by acidic hydrolysis, yields benzoic acid.

c) Iodoform reaction converts acetophenone to iodoform and sodium benzoate.

d) Grignard reagent reduces acetophenone to 2-phenylpropan-2-ol.
