MCQ
Electrophilic substitution reaction in phenol takes place at:
- APara position
- BMeta position
- COrtho position
- ✓Ortho and para position
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Ortho and para position
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.
The electron density at ortho and para positions will be higher than the electron density at meta position.
