Answer

Toluene + HNO₃/H₂SO₄ ----> p-nitrotoluene (para directed nitration) 

p-nitrotoluene (para directed nitration) p-nitrotoluene + Zn/HCl ----> p-aminotoluene (changing NO₂ to NH₂ by reduction) 

> p-aminotoluene (changing NO₂ to NH₂ by reduction) p-aminotoluene +Br₂ ----> bromination ortho to NH₂.

--> bromination ortho to NH₂.Remove NH₂ via diazonium salt and decomposition with 1) HONO (which is NaNO₂+HCl), 2) H₃PO₂ for the final product
