Predict the product reaction of aniline with bromine in non-polar solvent such as CS_(2). |
Answer» SOLUTION :In non-polar solvent, the resonance STRUCTURE involving separation of +ve and -ve CHARGES are not stabilized by dipole-dipole interaction with the non-polar solvent. As a RESULT activating EFFECT of the `-NH_(2)` is reduced and hence monosubstitution occus only at o- and p-positions giving amixture of 2-bromoaniline (minor) and 4-bromoaniline (major).
