Why phenol undergoes electrophilic substitution more easily than benzene?
Advertisements
उत्तर

In the case of phenol, the benzene ring is more `e^Theta` rich due to the +M effect of the −OH group.
Hence, electrophilic substitution takes place at a much faster rate in phenol as compared to benzene.
