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

Options
- A1-Bromo-4-nitrobenzene
- B1, 3, 5-Tribromo-2-nitrobenzene
- C4-Bromo-1-nitrobenzene
- 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 group.
Reaction of (A) with at (diazotization) yields 2,4,6-tribromobenzenediazonium chloride (B).
Treatment of (B) with forms 2,4,6-tribromobenzenediazonium fluoroborate. Heating this intermediate with and 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.
