D
Answer
Explanation
Solution
Reaction of C6H5Br+CH3Br with NaOH (alc.) to Form B:
In the first step, the reaction of bromobenzene (C6H5Br) with methyl bromide (CH3Br) in the presence of alcoholic NaOH undergoes a nucleophilic substitution to form B, which is ortho-bromophenol.
Reaction of B with HBr (ether) to Form C:
In the second step, treating ortho-bromophenol with HBr in ether leads to the formation of C, which is para-bromophenol.
Identifying the Relationship Between A and C:
Compound A (bromobenzene) and compound C (para-bromophenol) are position isomers because they differ in the position of the bromine and hydroxyl groups on the benzene ring.
Conclusion:
The structures of B and C are as shown in Option (3), and A and C are position isomers.
