The correct option is
A p-bromophenol
The reaction of phenol with bromine is known as bromination of phenol.
Solvent has great influence on the reaction. In different solvents, different products are obtained. The action of bromine on phenol can be explained as:
(i) Reaction with bromine in water: Phenol reacts with bromine water to give 2,4,6-tribromophenol.
(ii) Reaction with bromine in
CS2: Phenol reacts with bromine in a presence of Carbon disulphide to form a mixture of o-bromophenol and p-bromophenol.
Phenol reacts with bromine in a presence of Carbon disulphide to form a mixture of o-bromophenol and p-bromophenol. Among which p-bromophenol is major. In
CS2 ionisation is not facilitated that much. As it is a non-polar solvent it doesn't the
Br+ on. Also −OH group is moderately o, p-directing. So as usual para-product is more formed.
