Why is p-nitrophenol more acidic than phenol ?
What happens when phenol reacts with (1) Conc. HNO₃, and (2) CHCl₃ in presence of aqueous NaOH followed by acidification ? Write equations only.
Why does the reaction of CH₃ONa with (CH₃)₃C – Br give 2-methylpropene and not (CH₃)₃C – OCH₃ ?
Phenols undergo electrophilic substitution reactions readily due to the strong activating effect of OH group attached to the benzene ring. Since, the OH group increases the electron density more to o– and p– positions, therefore OH group is ortho, para-directing. Reimer-Tiemann reaction is one of the examples of aldehyde group being introduced on the aromatic ring of phenol, ortho to the hydroxyl group. This is a general method used for the ortho-formylation of phenols. Answer the following questions:
