Question:

Predict the product of reaction of aniline with bromine in non-polar solvent such as CS2.

Answer:


ncert-exemplar-problems-class-12-chemistry-amines-47
In non-polar solvent (such as CS2) the activating effect of -NH2 group is reduced (due to resonance) and hence, mono substitution occurs only at o- and p-positions.
