What products will be produced when benzene alcohol reacts with HNO3 and H2SO4?
Accepted Answer
The reaction of benzene alcohol (phenol) with HNO3 and H2SO4 is an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. The product of this reaction is a mixture of ortho- and para-nitrophenol. The reaction proceeds through the formation of a nitronium ion (NO2+), which is a strong electrophile that attacks the aromatic ring of phenol.
