Identify the product obtained when phenol reacts with bromine in...

Phenol reacts with bromine in the presence of a non-polar solvent such as $\text{CS}_2$ or $\text{CHCl}_3$ at low temperature to undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution.

In a non-polar solvent, the ionization of phenol is suppressed, and the electrophile $\text{Br}^+$ is generated in a smaller concentration compared to the reaction in a polar solvent like water. This prevents polyhalogenation.

As a result, mono-bromination takes place, yielding a mixture of ortho-bromophenol (minor product) and para-bromophenol (major product).

Therefore, the product obtained is a mixture of O-Bromophenol and P-Bromophenol.

Answer: Mixture of O-Bromophenol and P-Bromophenol
