MCQ
Rate of substitution reaction in phenol is
- ASlower than the rate of benzene
- ✓Faster than the rate of benzene
- CEqual to the rate of benzene
- DNone of these
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Faster than the rate of benzene
b
(b)Rate of electrophillic substitution reaction in phenol is faster than in benzene because presence of $ - \,OH$ group increases electron density at $o-$ and $p-$ positions.
