Monosubstitution of Benzene
« on: February 06, 2013, 02:24:03 PM »
Hi,

I was reading my textbook and came upon this problem. I don't get how you would answer it. Can anyone explain?

Thanks!

You can start by replacing hydrogen atoms in the structures one at a time with bromine.  If you can make two distinct compounds (i.e. they're not mirror images) that that one isn't the answer.  Start with number one, draw out the structure with the hydrogens, are they all equivalent?

The question is, did Keukle get it?
