1. How can we modify the reaction of phenol with Br2 and a Lewis acid catalyst to obtain only ortho-bromophenol
instead of a mixture of ortho-bromophenol and para-bromophenol?

Aldehydes and ketones can be halogenated at their a-position by reaction with Cl₂, Br2, or 12, under acidic conditions. Using Br2 under acidic conditions, an intermediate enol is formed which adds
bromine at the a-position. The reaction stops after the addition of one bromine because the electron-withdrawing halogen decreases the basicity of the carbonyl oxygen, making the protonation less
favorable.
Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.
