Description

https://joechem.io/videos/161 for video on jOeCHEM and attached worksheet + solution (below video on jOeCHEM aka the link). In this video, we'll lean on our previous benzene chemistry knowledge as we look at EAS rxns with phenol. Since the -OH group is a strong EDG, phenol directs additional groups in an ortho/para fashion. However, there is one thing to watch out for when doing Friedel-Crafts Acylations--check the video to find out what.
