When phenol reacts with triiodomethane (iodoform), the reaction produces 2,4,6-tribromophenol and a molecule of iodide. The equation can be summarized as follows:

[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{OH} + \text{CHI}_3 \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_2\text{I}_3\text{OH} + \text{HI} ]

In this process, phenol is oxidized, leading to the formation of the iodoform derivative.
