The reason why phenol is more soluble in NaOH than in water is because phenol is slightly acidic. Reason : By mixing with NaOH, it causes the phenol to release the H+ to form sodium phenoxide. The one negative charge on this compound can move to different locations in the phenol to form different resonances (4 resonances in total) and create very stable compound.
