Which of the reactions shown here do you think will produce the para product in the greater amount? Explain. Hint: See Problem 23.37. I CI Br2 Cl2 FeBr3 FeCl, A B A Br substituent is an ortho/para director, so the halogenation of bromobenzene predominantly yields the ortho and para products, as shown in the following bromination and chlorination reactions: Br Br Br Br Br Br Br .CI Br2 Cl2 FeBr3 FeCl3 Br CI 13% 85% 42% 53% Explain why bromination yields more of the para product than chlorination.
