CHBr3 reacts with base
tBnOK to
:CBr2 carbene. Now this :
CBr2 inserts into one of the double bond of cyclopentadiene to form
B which contains a three membered rings. Now breaking of three membered rings and simultaneous leaving of
Br(−) gives
C. Subsequently
C gives an aromatic compound
D which is bromo benzene.
