Correct answer
3
Step-by-step solution
Reaction (1): Toluene + Br₂ /Fe in dark conditions undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution on the benzene ring, producing ortho and para bromotoluenes. This is correctly represented. Reaction (2): The diazonium salt reacts with Cu₂Br₂ /HBr via the Sandmeyer reaction to produce bromobenzene. This is correctly represented. Reaction (3): Toluene + Br₂ with light ( h ) undergoes free radical substitution at the benzylic position, producing benzyl bromide (CH₂Br). This is correctly represented. Reaction (4): Cyclo
