When phenol is treated with bromine water,a white precipitate is obtained. Give the structure and the name of the compound formed.
(N/A) When phenol reacts with bromine water,it undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution at all ortho and para positions.
This results in the formation of $2,4,6-$Tribromophenol.
The reaction is as follows:
$C_6H_5OH + 3Br_2 \xrightarrow{H_2O} C_6H_2Br_3OH + 3HBr$
The product,$2,4,6-$Tribromophenol,appears as a white precipitate.
This results in the formation of $2,4,6-$Tribromophenol.
