Q9. The insecticide DDT (in the box below) is useful in controlling mosquito populations and has
low toxicity to humans, but is dangerous to birds and fish. Hoping to alleviate the dangers, little
Johnny Whizbang, an aspiring chemist, proposes a new version of DDT ("Bromo-DDT") and
shows his synthesis to his boss. Will Johnny Whizbang's synthesis work? Or will he be fired?
Assume there is an excess of bromine and polybrominated products can be separated. Explain
why.
