Question:
Phenol with dilute HNO\(_3\) gives
Phenol with dilute HNO\(_3\) gives
Show Hint
When phenol reacts with dilute nitric acid, ortho and para products are usually formed due to the electron-donating nature of the hydroxyl group.
Updated On: Jan 15, 2026
- Meta and para nitrophenol
- Ortho and para nitrophenol
- Ortho and meta nitrophenol
- Tri nitrophenol
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
When phenol reacts with dilute nitric acid (HNO\(_3\)), it undergoes nitration and forms ortho and para nitrophenol as products.
