MCQ
Electrophilic substitution reaction in phenol takes place at:
- APara position
- BMeta position
- COrtho position
- DOrtho and para position
✓
Answer
- Ortho and para position
Explanation:
Electrophilic substitution reaction in phenol takes place at ortho and para position. −OH is an ortho para directing group.
The electron density at ortho and para positions will be higher than the electron density at meta position.
