Answer 1

HN-E-CH₂ und o Br it is an example of electrophilic substitution reaction where Bromonium in acts as electrophile which attacks ring at p-position to get - Boomoacetanilide Febry + Brt HN-CO CH3 I + Febrz + HBO Mechanism. . Bo-Br + Febrz HN-COCH AN-COCH O + Bot -> -COCH3 Febru 1). Acetaniline Feby J þ- Boomo acetanilide compoud, we can find its melting point. indicates that the compound is fure. 6) To check the furity of A sharp melting point
