What major product is expected from the reaction shown below?1,4-dimethylbenzene + Cl2 (excess, heat, pressure) →
The bromination of anisole occurs without the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst and often leads to the formation of tribromide with the presence of excess bromine. Explain why.
A substitution reaction where hydrogen (H) is replaced with chlorine (Cl) is shown below. What ratio of products A, B, and C would you anticipate, given a random statistical distribution and no knowledge of the mechanism of the reaction?
Write a mechanism for the reaction of toluene with bromine in the presence of FeBr3 as a catalyst.
