Which is obtained on treating phenol, with dilute HNO3 ? (A)  (B)  (C)  (D) None

-OH group is an activating group, hence increase electron density on o- and p-position in benzene ring. Thus phenol very easily undergoes nitration (electrophilic substitution) and give trinitro phenol i.e., picric acid.

Q. Which is obtained on treating phenol, with dilute $H N O_{3}$ ?

None

$- O H$ group is an activating group, hence increase electron density on o- and p-position in benzene ring. Thus phenol very easily undergoes nitration (electrophilic substitution) and give trinitro phenol i.e., picric acid.
