Question:
p-Nitrotoluene with \(Br_2\) (heat)
p-Nitrotoluene with \(Br_2\) (heat)
Show Hint
Br\(_2\) + heat → side chain bromination (free radical substitution).

Verified By Collegedunia
Solution and Explanation
Bromination in presence of heat leads to side-chain bromination.
\[
p\text{-Nitrotoluene} \xrightarrow{Br_2,\ heat} p\text{-Nitrobenzyl bromide}
\]
