$3-$Bromobenzotrichloride

Vedclass · Answer

(A) The group $-CCl_3$ is a strongly electron-withdrawing group due to the inductive effect of three chlorine atoms. It is a deactivating group and is meta-directing in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Therefore,when benzotrichloride reacts with $Br_2$ in the presence of $Fe$ (a Lewis acid catalyst),the bromine atom is substituted at the meta-position to form $3-$bromobenzotrichloride.

The compound $A$ is formed by the reaction of benzotrichloride with $Br_2$ in the presence of $Fe$. Identify the compound $A$.
