NEET levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 1 of 3nc094

Aniline reacts with excess $Br X_{2}$ water to give

A4-bromoaniline only
B3-bromoaniline only
C3,5-dibromoaniline
D2,4,6-tribromoaniline as a white precipitate

Answer: D

The

NH X_{2}

group strongly activates the ortho and para positions, so bromination in water (no Lewis acid) goes to completion at all three positions, giving a white precipitate of 2,4,6-tribromoaniline.
