Abstract

A tracer study of the chlorine-induced bromination of phenol in buffered (pH = 6.0 and 8.0) and in non-buffered (initial pH = 7.0) aqueous solutions is described. In the non-buffered solution about 8 at.% bromine containing compounds could be isolated from the reaction mixture; for the buffered system at pH 6.0 and 8.0 the figures were 17 and 47 at.% respectively. Two types of compounds were found in the reaction mixtures; halogen containing phenols and compounds of a non-phenolic character.
