Question

Why in phenol nuclliophiles attack at ortho and para position?

Answer 1

$\huge{Hey Mate!!!}$

☆☞ Here is ur answer ☜☆

✔✔ Phenols are highly prone to electrophilic substitution reactions due to rich electron density.

✔✔ The hydroxyl group attached to the aromatic ring in phenol facilitates the effective delocalization of the charge in the aromatic ring.

✔✔ Hence, we acknowledge most of these substitutions at ortho and para positions only.
