Phenol is heated with a solution of mixture of `KBr` and `KBrO_(3)`. The major product obtained in the above reaction is

A

`2-` bromophenol

B

`3-` bromophenol

C

`4-` bromophenol

D

`2,4,6-` tribromophenol

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
On heating a mixture of `KBr` and `KBrO_(3)` in aqueous solution we get bromine water:
`5KBr+KBrO_(3)+3H_(2)Orarr3Br_(2)+6KOH`
Bromine water reacts with phenol to yield `2,4,6-` tribromophenol
