Q

Why does bromine react more readily with phenol than with benzene?

A

Bromine reacts more readily with phenol because the lone pair on the oxygen is delocalised into the benzene ring creating a greater electron density able of polarising a bromine molecule.

37
Q

What happens when Brady’s reagent is added to an aldehyde or ketone?

A
