Chemistry - ALCOHOL & ETHER Question with Solution | TestHub

A compound that undergoes bromination easily is phenol. Due to presence of$–\text{O}\text{H(+M)}$group the ring becomes much more active in substitution reactions. The bromination occurs due to availability of electrons on ortho and para position.


In toluene CH₃group show +HC which is less activating group than -OH & -COOH (-M) ring deactivating group.
more activating group given$\stackrel{+}{\text{E}}$substitution (bromination) easily.
