Question

In the given reaction, The products X and Y respectively are (A) a-bromo nitrobenzene and o-bromoaniline (B) p-bromo nitrobenzene and p-bromoaniline (C) m-bromo nitrobenzene and m-bromoaniline (D) o, p-dibromonitrobenzene and o, p-dibromoaniline

Nitro group is a deactivating and m-directing group hence it direct the incoming Br- ion to the m- position, thus leading to the formation of m- bromonitrobenzene. By reduction with Sn/HCl, the nitro group reduces to -NH2 i.e. the final product is m-bromoaniline.

Q. In the given reaction,
The products X and Y respectively are

a-bromo nitrobenzene and o-bromoaniline

p-bromo nitrobenzene and p-bromoaniline

m-bromo nitrobenzene and m-bromoaniline

o, p-dibromonitrobenzene and o, p-dibromoaniline

Nitro group is a deactivating and m-directing group hence it direct the incoming $B r^{-}$ ion to the $m -$ position, thus leading to the formation of $m -$ bromonitrobenzene. By reduction with $S n / H Cl,$ the nitro group reduces to $- N H_{2}$ i.e. the final product is m-bromoaniline.
