following reaction.
a. chlorination of nitrobenzene,
b. sulfonation of chlorobenzene,
c. bromination of phenol,
d. nitration of toluene.​

Answer 1

bromination of phenol

Answer 2

. Predict the possible products of the

following reaction.

a. chlorination of nitrobenzene,

b. sulfonation of chlorobenzene,

c. bromination of phenol,

d. nitration of toluene.​

Explanation:

1. Chlorination of Nitrobenzene

In this reaction chlorine is added to benzene ring as it contains double bond .

Nitro group is meta directing therefore the product formed is : meta chloro nitrobenzene .

2.sulfonation of chlorobenzene,

In this the chlorobenzene is treated with sulphuric acid .As we know cloro group is para directing therefore we get :chloro benzene sulphonic acid .

3. Bromination of phenol

When addition of bromine to phenol occurs we get : 2,4,6 tribromophenol in aqueous medium and in presence of carbon disulphide we get : its isomers that is ortho bromophenol and para bromo phenol .

4.Nitration of toluene.

When nitration of toulene is conducted we get : p-nitro toulene
