What is the structure of the major product when phenol is treated with bromine water?

Answer»




SOLUTION :Phenol has ACTIVATING (electron releasing) `-OH` group and bromine water supplies `Br^(+)` ion easily, hence under such conditions reaction does not stop at monobromo or DIBROMO stage but a fully brominated (2, 4, 6, - tribromophenol) COMPOUND is the final product.
