What would be the major product of the following reaction sequence? 1. Br2, hv 2. CH3SNa, DMF
Understand the Problem
The question is asking which product would be formed from a specific sequence of chemical reactions starting with a benzene derivative. The first step involves bromination under ultraviolet light, followed by a reaction with sodium methylthio in DMF. The user needs to identify the major product among the given options.
Answer
Compound V
The major product of the reaction sequence is compound V.
Answer for screen readers
The major product of the reaction sequence is compound V.
More Information
This sequence involves radical bromination of a benzylic position followed by nucleophilic substitution. Toluene is first converted to benzyl bromide, which is then reacted with methanethiolate anion to form benzyl methyl sulfide.
Tips
A common mistake is misidentifying the position of bromination or incorrectly predicting the nucleophilic substitution.
