Correct answer: C
-
Identify the type of reaction implied
The options given are different brominating conditions. Such questions in haloalkanes/haloarenes commonly ask which reagents allow addition of bromine to an alkene/unsaturated system versus electrophilic substitution on an aromatic ring.
The set of reagents suggests that the given reaction is one that can occur with molecular bromine under non-aqueous conditions and also under Lewis-acid catalysis.
-
Examine each reagent
(a) Bromine water
Bromine water is used mainly for:
- testing unsaturation,
- reaction with strongly activated aromatic rings like phenol/aniline,
- hydroxybromination in some cases because water is present.
It is not the usual condition for the bromination reaction implied here if the required product is obtained specifically by bromine addition/substitution under anhydrous conditions. Hence, this is not suitable.
So, (a) is not correct.
(b) in , 273 K
is an inert nonpolar solvent. Bromination commonly occurs in such solvents for addition/substitution reactions without interference from water.
So, (b) is correct.
(c)
is a Lewis acid and generates the electrophile from bromine, enabling bromination in aromatic systems.
So, (c) is correct.
(d) in , 273 K
is also an inert organic solvent commonly used for bromination reactions.
So, (d) is correct.
