Solution and Explanation
When phenol reacts with bromine in carbon disulfide (CS\(_2\)), an electrophilic substitution reaction occurs, where the hydroxyl group (OH) activates the ring towards substitution at the ortho and para positions. The major product is 2,4,6-Tribromophenol, as bromine atoms are added at the ortho and para positions relative to the hydroxyl group. \[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{OH} + 3\text{Br}_2 \xrightarrow{\text{CS}_2} \text{C}_6\text{H}_2\text{Br}_3\text{OH} \]
