Question

Assertion: Bromobenzene upon reaction with `Br_(2)//Fe` gives 1,4-dibromobenzene as the major product
Reason In bromobenzene the inductive effect of the bromo group is more dominant than the mesomeric effect in directing the incoming electrophile .
A. STATEMENT -1 is True STATEMNET -2 is True , STATEMENT-2 is a correct explanation for STATEMENT-1
B. STATEMENT-1 is True , STATEMENT -2 is True , STATEMENT -2 is not a correct explanation for STATEMENT -1
C. STATEMENT 1 IS Treu STATEMENT-2 is False
D. STATEMENT -1 is False , STATEMENT -2 is True

Answer 1

Correct Answer - C

Answer 2

Bromine's mesomeric effect regulates its orientation. Its ability to stabilize the arenium ion through +M activity.

The inductive effect of the bromo group is more dominant than the mesomeric effect in the activity of the ring in bromobenzene, which is less activating than benzene.

Ans: - (C) Statement 1 is True and Statement 2 is False
