Vedclass · Answer

(A) The reaction of $p$-cresol ($4$-methylphenol) with $Br_2$ in water $(Br_2, H_2O)$ is a polar reaction that leads to the formation of a white precipitate of $2,6-$dibromo$-4-$methylphenol $(A)$ due to the high reactivity of the phenoxide ion.In contrast,the reaction with $Br_2$ in a non-polar solvent like $CS_2$ at low temperature leads to mono-bromination,yielding $2-$bromo$-4-$methylphenol $(B)$ as the major product.

For the given reaction,identify the major products $A$ and $B$ respectively.
