Question

Reaction of ortho-bromotoluene with sodium amide in liquid ammonia produces two major products, ortho-toluidine (i.e., 2-methylaniline) and meta-toluidine (i.e., 3-methylaniline). From the list of possible intermediates shown at the right, choose those that would be: an intermediate in the formation of ortho-toluidine. an intermediate in the formation of meta-toluidine

Answer 1

Answer 2

The above given reaction proceeds through the benzyne mechanism. The mechanism for the formation of 2 products through the formation intermediates is as follows:

CH3 СНЗ CH3 -NH3 NH2 Benzyne CH3 CH3 CH NH NH NH Benzyne NH2 CH3 CH3 CH NH NH NH2 HNH2 Benzyne

Therefore, the correct options are Ca and G €and回
