Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the major product when phenol is treated with bromine water?
  • Step 1: Start with phenol, which is a benzene ring with a hydroxyl (OH) group attached.
  • Step 2: Prepare bromine water, which is a solution of bromine in water.
  • Step 3: Mix phenol with bromine water. The hydroxyl group (OH) on phenol makes the benzene ring more reactive.
  • Step 4: The bromine will react with the benzene ring, specifically at the position next to the hydroxyl group.
  • Step 5: The major product formed is 2-bromophenol, where a bromine atom replaces a hydrogen atom on the benzene ring.
