Explanation
Hint: Activating group detects the incoming nucleophile at ortho and para positions.
Explanation: In phenol the hydroxyl group in ring is a activating group. It activates the ring to a great extent and bromination means the addition of bromine take place at ortho and para positions.
So, the Br groups attack at 2,4,6 positions and give 2,4,6−tribromophenol.
The reaction is-
Final Answer: When phenol is treated with excess bromine water, it gives 2,4,6tribromophenol.
Correct option (D).
Compound A from a secondary carbocation which is not in conjugation with any group or atoms and directly attached to next carbon with electron-withdrawing group CO, hence it will not go dehydration as fast as compound C.
Compound B from a secondary carbocation which is not in conjugation with any group or atoms and directly attached to next carbon with electron-withdrawing group CO, hence it will not go dehydration as fast as compound C.
Compound D from a secondary carbocation which is not in conjugation with any group or atoms and directly attached to next carbon with electron-withdrawing group CO, hence it will not go dehydration as fast as compound C.
