Which one of the following is an appropriate structure for the product of bromination?
Correct answer: C. Option C
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation
We are asked to describe the possible product of bromination. From the question, we can possibly conclude that the OH group is already present on the benzene ring, or, in other words, we are considering phenol. So we have to tell you the possible product of the bromination of "phenol". As OH is an orthopedic directing group, So the option having product that has Br on Ortho and Para positions is the right one, which in this case is option C

About Benzene and Aromatic Compounds
Benzene has a planar ring of delocalised π electrons, giving aromatic stability and equal carbon-carbon bond lengths. The topic covers resonance, electrophilic substitution reactions such as nitration, halogenation, sulphonation and Friedel-Crafts reactions, along with substituent effects and the distinction between substitution in benzene and addition in ordinary alkenes.
