Interpretation:
The product formed in each of the given reactions is to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
In an electrophilic
Phenols contain hydroxyl
On the other hand, the electron donating groups (EDG) increase the electron density, thereby destabilizing the phenoxide ion.
Phenols undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction due to the presence of the hydroxyl group that activates itself towards electrophilic substitution.
The hydroxyl group causes the resonance effect due to which the ortho and para positions of the phenol ring become electron rich.
