Detailed Solution

  • With concentrated nitric acid, phenol is converted to 2,4,6-trinitrophenol. 
  • The product is commonly known as picric acid. 
  • The yield of the reaction product is poor.
  • Nowadays, picric acid is prepared by treating phenol first with concentrated sulphuric acid, which converts it to phenol-2,4-disulphonic acid, and then with concentrated nitric acid to get 2,4,6-trinitrophenol.Question Image
