What happens when dilute HNO3 is added to phenol? Name the method to separate the isomers obtained.
With dilute nitric acid at low temperature (298 K),
phenol yields a mixture of ortho and para nitrophenols.
Give the structure of the products resulting from the reaction of sodium phenoxide with CO2 at 4 atm and 400 K followed by addition of aqueous acid.
While separating a mixture of ortho and para nitrophenols by stream distillation, name the isomer which is steam volatile. Give reason.
Name the reagent used in the conversion of phenol into 2, 4, 6-tribromophenol. Also write the equation.
