In which of the following, ortho/para substitution by an electrophile is very facile?
- A Nitrobenzene
- B Phenol
- C Benzoic acid
- D Acetophenone
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Phenol
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
- OH group is ortho/para directing and makes the benzene ring more active towards electrophilic substitution. Thus, ortho/para substitution in phenol by an electrophile is very facile.
