Answer 2

Answer:

The product of the following reaction is

Benzene-NHCOCH₃  +  Br₂/CH₃ COOH → 4-Bromo-N-phenylacetamide

Explanation:

Benzene-NHCOCH₃ is also known as Acetanilide, which is an Anisole, which undergoes bromination with bromine in ethanoic acid /acetic acid/  CH₃ COOH to form a mixture of ortho and para Bromo anisole. It is an Anisole and ortho-para directing group because the substituted chain in the benzene ring has a carbonyl group.

As the group is an ortho-para directing group, the Bromine will attach to either in the ortho or in the para position, but due to hindrance in the ortho position due to a nearby bulky group, the para position will be most favorable.

The complete reaction will be shown in the attached diagram:
