Assertion : Phenol forms 2, 4, 6-tribromophenol on treatment with Br2 in carbon disulphide at 273 K.
Reason : Bromine polarises in carbon disulphide.

A

Assertion and reason both are correct and reason is correct explanation of assertion.

B

Assertion and reasons both are wrong statements.

C

Assertion is correct statement but reasons is wrong statement.

D

Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Correct assertion : Phenol formes 2,4,6-tribromophenol on treatment with `Br_(2)` dissolved in water at room temperature.
Correct reason : In aqueous medium, phenol is ionised to phenate ion in which the ring is highly activated.
