Product C of the following reaction sequence will be

Product CC of the following reaction sequence will be
Product C of the following reaction sequence will be

Options

  1. A1-Bromo-4-nitrobenzene
  2. B1, 3, 5-Tribromo-2-nitrobenzene
  3. C4-Bromo-1-nitrobenzene
  4. D1, 3, 5-Tribromobenzene

Correct answer

B. 1, 3, 5-Tribromo-2-nitrobenzene

Step-by-step solution

Aniline on reaction with bromine water gives 2,4,6-tribromoaniline (A) as the major product due to the strong activating nature of the −NH2-\text{NH}_2 group.

Reaction of (A) with NaNO2/HCl\text{NaNO}_2/\text{HCl} at 273−278 K273-278\text{ K} (diazotization) yields 2,4,6-tribromobenzenediazonium chloride (B).

Treatment of (B) with HBF4\text{HBF}_4 forms 2,4,6-tribromobenzenediazonium fluoroborate. Heating this intermediate with NaNO2\text{NaNO}_2 and Cu\text{Cu} replaces the diazonium group with a nitro group, forming 2,4,6-tribromonitrobenzene (C).

To assign the IUPAC name, we number the ring to give the lowest locant set to the substituents. The set (1, 2, 3, 5) is lower than (1, 2, 4, 6). Therefore, the nitro group is at position 2, and the bromo groups are at positions 1, 3, and 5. The correct IUPAC name is 1,3,5-tribromo-2-nitrobenzene.

Answer: 1, 3, 5-Tribromo-2-nitrobenzene
