Vedclass · Answer

(D) The conversion of phenol to picric acid $(2,4,6-	ext{trinitrophenol})$ is an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction known as nitration.Phenol reacts with concentrated nitric acid $(HNO_3)$ in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid $(H_2SO_4)$ to form picric acid.The concentrated $H_2SO_4$ acts as a catalyst and helps in the generation of the nitronium ion $(NO_2^+)$,which is the electrophile.
