Which of the following reactions of bromobenzene are correct?

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D precipitate at room temperature

Answer: B, C

Bromobenzene inserts magnesium in dry ether (aryl Grignard) and undergoes Wurtz-Fittig coupling with an alkyl halide and sodium to give toluene. Because the C-Br bond is strong, it is not hydrolysed by aqueous alkali at room temperature (Dow process needs 623 K and 300 atm) and it gives no with aqueous .
