Phenolic OH is more reactivetowards acetic anhydride than acidic OH because Charge density is distributed among two Oxygens of carboxylic group (Lower nucleophilicity).
Yes. Because, the product determining step involves the attack of the phenolic -OH to the protonated anhydride and is directed by the greater nucleophilicity of phenolic -OH rather than carboxylic -OH.
