Phenol can also react with concentrated nitric acid in electrophilic substitution to form 2,4,6-trinitrophenol. This increased substitution is due to concentrated nitric acid having a greater amount of the NO2+ nucleophile per unit volume. Increasing the temperature will speed up the substitution, as well as increasing the likelihood of a triple substitution occurring.
