Question

The following three isomeric tribromobenzenes are subjected to mononitration, which of these would produce three possible mononitro tribromobenzene?

• A. II and III
• B. I and II
• C. II
• D. III

Answer 1

The correct option is C II

On mononitration, the structure I will produce only one mononitro tribromobenzene.
On mononitration, the structure II will produce three possible mononitro tribromobenzene.
On mononitration, the structure III will produce only two mononitro tribromobenzene.
