Answer #1
Ok, this is the structure of p-xylene...
Now just like the question you had with the FC acylation, youhave two o/p directing groups with the para position blocked, soyou will have the bromine added to the ortho position next to oneof the methyl groups, the choice is arbitrary...
you need to activate the Br2 ie make it morenucleophilic by adding it with FeBr3
Hope this helps!
