The correct sequence of reactions to be performed to convert benzene into m-bromoaniline is
Options
- Abromination, nitration, reduction
- Breduction, nitration, bromination
- Cnitration, reduction, bromination
- Dnitration, bromination, reduction
Correct answer
D. nitration, bromination, reduction
Step-by-step solution
First step is nitration, because in the desired product bromine is substituted at the m-position and nitro group is ( m ) - directing group, then followed by bromination of nitrobenzene, then, reduction of nitro group to amine group Benzene directing Step(2) Step(3) ( m )-Bromoaniline
