Q. The compound $C_{7}H_{8}$ undergoes the following reactions

$C_{7}H_{8}\overset{3 C l_{2} / \Delta }{ \rightarrow }A\overset{B r_{2} / F e}{ \rightarrow }B\overset{Z n / H C l}{ \rightarrow }C$

The product ‘C’ is

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020Hydrocarbons

Solution:

First toluene undergoes side chain halogination to give compound A. In compound A - $CCl_{3}$ group is meta directing so meta product B is formed. B on reaction with Zn/HCl gives meta bromo toluene $\left(\right.C\left.\right)$ .
