Answer:
Reaction with bromine water
If bromine water is added to a solution of phenol in water, the bromine water is decolourised and a white precipitate is formed which smells of antiseptic. The precipitate is 2,4,6-tribromophenol. Notice the multiple substitution around the ring - into all the activated positions.

Explanation:
The reaction of phenol with bromine is known as bromination of phenol. ... Phenol reacts with bromine water to give 2,4,6-tribromophenol. In water, ionisation is facilitated. Phenol gets ionised to form phenoxide ion, which is even better ortho-para directing.
