Question

Consider the given reaction, percentage yield of :

• A. $\text{A}>\text{C}>\text{B}$
• B. $\text{C}>\text{A}>\text{B}$
• C. $\text{C}>\text{B}>\text{A}$
• D. $\text{B}>\text{C}>\text{A}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\text{C}>\text{B}>\text{A}$

$N{H}_2$ shows +R effect. Thus, it is a ortho/para directing group.
But in strongly acidic medium aniline is protonated to form anilinium ion making it m-directing but p-derivative is also formed in significant amount which is a major product.

Thus, option (a) is correct.
