MCQ
Given below are two statement :

Statement $I$ : Bromination of phenol in solvent with low polarity such as $\mathrm{CHCl}_3$ or $\mathrm{CS}_2$ requires Lewis acid catalyst.

Statement $II$ : The lewis acid catalyst polarises the bromine to generate $\mathrm{Br}^{+}$.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  • A
    Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false.
  • B
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true
  • C
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are false.
  • Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true.

Answer

Correct option: D.
Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true.
d
Phenol is a highly activated compound which can undergo bromination directly with Bromine without any lewis acid.
