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 $$2,4,6 tribromophenol$$.
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 $$C$$.
