Question

p-Hydroxybenzophenone upon reaction with bromine in carbon tetrachloride gives:

Answer 1

Answer:

option D is the correct answer...

Answer 2

(3-bromo-4-hydroxylphenyl)-phenylmethanone will be formed .

Explanation:

-OH group show M effects and specifically +M effect due to the presence of lone pair of electrons on oxygen atom.

It is due to this +M effect ortho and para sites gets activated toward Electrophilic substitution reaction and $Br^{-}$ electrophile is directed towards ortho para position. Hence forming compound (D).
