Statement 1 Bromobenzene, upon reaction with Br_2 / Fe gives 1,...
Statement 1 Bromobenzene, upon reaction with gives 1, 4-dibromobenzene as the major product.
Statement 2 In bromobenzene, the inductive effect of the bromo group is more dominant than the mesomeric effect in directing the incoming electrophile.


Options
- AStatement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.
- BStatement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.
- CStatement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
- DStatement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true
Correct answer
C. Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
Step-by-step solution
Bromine orientation is controlled by its mesomeric effect, its stabilisation of arenium ion by activity
In bromobenzene, the inductive effect of the bromo group is more dominant than the mesomeric effect in the activity of ring.
