Give structures of A, B and C: Aniline $\xrightarrow{Br_2/H_2O}$ A $\xrightarrow{NaNO_2+HCl, 0-5^\circ C}$ B $\xrightarrow{H_3PO_2+H_2O}$ C
Show Hint
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Concept
This is a sequential transformation involving bromination, diazotization, and replacement of diazonium group.
Step 2: Analysis
Aniline treated with $Br_2/H_2O$ (bromine water): the highly activated ring undergoes tribromination at all three available ortho/para positions, giving 2,4,6-tribromoaniline. This is compound
Step 3: Analysis
2,4,6-Tribromoaniline + $NaNO_2$/$HCl$ at 0--5$^\circ$C gives the diazonium salt: 2,4,6-tribromobenzenediazonium chloride. This is compound
Step 4: Analysis
The diazonium salt treated with hypophosphorous acid ($H_3PO_2$) replaces the diazonium group with hydrogen. Product: 1,3,5-tribromobenzene. This is compound
Final Answer:
A: 2,4,6-Tribromoaniline [$2,4,6$-$Br_3$-$C_6H_2NH_2$]
B: 2,4,6-Tribromobenzenediazonium chloride [$2,4,6$-$Br_3$-$C_6H_2N_2^+Cl^-$]
C: 1,3,5-Tribromobenzene [$1,3,5$-$Br_3C_6H_3$]
