The products formed in the reaction of phenol with $\mathrm{Br}_2$ dissolved in $\mathrm{CS}_2$ at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ are
$o$-bromo, $m$-bromo and $p$-bromophenols
o-bromo and $p$-bromophenols
2,4,6-tribromo and 2,3,6-tribromophenols
2,4-dibromo and 2,6-dibromophenols
Solution
Phenol when treated with $\mathrm{Br}_2$ in the presence of non-polar solvent $\mathrm{CS}_2$, it gives only o- and $p$-bromophenols instead the trisubstituted products. Reason for the above observation is supression of phenoxide ion in non-polar solvent. Thus, we get only mono substituted products.
