Benzene forms a single C(6)H(5)Br produc...

Benzene forms a single `C_(6)H_(5)Br` product when it is monobrominated because

A

bromine is able to replace only one of the H atoms

B

only one H on the ring is easily replaceable

C

all the H's in benzene are equivalent

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Due to delocalized `pie^(-)` cloud covering the entire molecule, all the `H's` are identical.

The major product formed on monobromination of phenylbenzoate is :

When bromobenzene is monochlorinated two isomeric compounds (A) and (B) are obtained. Monobromination of (A) gives several isomeric products of molecular formula C_(6)H_(3)CIBr_(2) while monobromination of (B) yields only two isomers (C) and (D). compound (C) is identical with one of the compounds obtained from the bromination of (A), however (D) is totally different from any of the isomeric compounds obtained from the bromination of (A). Give the structure of (A),(B),(C) and (D) and also structures of isomeric monobrominated products of(A). Support your answer with reasoning.

Benzene and other aromatic hydrocarbons, though contain pi -bonds, yet they behave as saturated hydrocarbons. They are stable because of delocalisation of cloud. These undergo electrophilic substitution reactions as : C_(6)H_(5)-H + YZ to C_(6)H_(5)Y +HZ The reactivity of aromatic hydrocarbons towards electrophilic substitution depends upon the electron density in the benzene ring In the reaction of C_(6)H_(5)Y , the major product is m-isomer. The group Y may be
