Answer 1

Phenol reacts with bromine water in CS2 at low temperature to give: a) O bromophenol b) P-bromophenol c) 2,4,6 – tribromophenol d) O – and P – bromophenol.



hope it helps ☺️

Answer 2

Answer: This leads to the production of two products which are o-bromophenol and p-bromophenol.

Explanation:

When phenol is reacted with bromine in the presence of a non-polar compound which is $CS_2$ (carbon disulfide), it results in the formation of two products. The products are ortho-bormophenol and para-bromophenol.

The major product for this reaction is p-bromophenol because no steric hinderance is there at para-position.

The chemical equation for the reaction is given in the image attached below.
