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 .

Options

A. Statement 1: is true Statement 2: is true, Statement 2 is the correct explainion of Statement 1
B. Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not the correct explainion fo Statement 1.
C. Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
D. Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true.

Answer

C

Explanation

Bromine orientation is controlled by its mesomeric effect. Its stablishation of arenium ion by `+M` activity.

In brombenzene the inductive effect of the bromo group is more dominat that the mesomeric effect of the bromo group is more dominant than the mesomeric effect in the activity of ring:

Statement 1 is true, but statement 2 is false.
