Q

describe the reagents and conditions of bromination of phenols.

A

reagents - bromine water
conditions - room temp.

17
Q

draw the mechanism of bromination of phenols. *

A
18
Q

why does phenols not require a halogen carrier?

A

lone pair on O on -OH group is partially delocalised in the ring & activates the ring
-> higher e- density & Br2 is more polarised
