Answer 2

Option B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

• The reactant is the meta methoxy toluene.

• The reagent is Bromine in ferric bromide.

• The methoxy group in the benzene ring is a ortho para directing group.

• The methyl group in the benzene ring is also a ortho para directing group.

• So the most likely place is the carbon between two groups and the carbon by the sides of methyl.

• But due to steric hindrance the carbon between the two groups are not preferred.

• So the major product is product of option B.
