Question

The major products formed:

A and B respectively are:

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The reaction sequence is as follows: 1. Anisole (methoxybenzene) is nitrated using \( \text{HNO}_3/\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \) to yield product (A), identified as 4-nitroanisole. 2. This is followed by bromination with \( \text{Br}_2 \) in the presence of excess iron, producing the brominated product (B), 4-bromo-2-nitroanisole.

Consequently, option (2) correctly depicts the major products (A) and (B).
