Show Hint
- \( \text{Cl}_2/\text{Fe}; \text{Br}_2/\text{anhy.} \text{AlCl}_3; \text{aq. KOH} \)
- \( \text{Br}_2/\text{Fe}; \text{Cl}_2, \Delta; \text{alc. KOH} \)
- \( \text{Cl}_2/\text{anhy.} \text{AlCl}_3; \text{Br}_2/\text{Fe}; \text{alc. KOH} \)
- \( \text{Br}_2/\text{anhy.} \text{AlCl}_3; \text{Cl}_2, \Delta; \text{aq. KOH} \)
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The given transformation involves the conversion of ethyl benzene (C\(_6\)H\(_5\)C\(_2\)H\(_5\)) to the desired product where a Br atom is added to the benzenoid ring.
- First, bromination of ethylbenzene occurs using \( \text{Br}_2 \) in the presence of iron (Fe), which acts as a catalyst.
The electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction results in the formation of a brominated product.
- After bromination, the next step involves chlorination using \( \text{Cl}_2 \) under heat (denoted by \( \Delta \)), leading to the introduction of the chlorine atom at the desired position.
- Finally, the product undergoes dehydrohalogenation in the presence of alcoholic potassium hydroxide (alc.
KOH), leading to the formation of the double bond as required.
Thus, the correct set of reagents to form the desired product is option (2).
