Hello, I have problem with write down the mechanism of reaction. I need mechanism of receiving 4-bromoanisol from anisol.

Identify the type of the reaction- Is it nucleophilic or electrophilic substitution ?

Yup, just typical EAS. The one difference is that your mechanism may not include a catalyst. Why might this be?
