NEET levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 1 of 3nc150

Aniline reacts with bromine water to give

A4-bromoaniline only
B2-bromoaniline only
C2,4,6-tribromoaniline, a white precipitate
D3-bromoaniline

Answer: C

The amino group is strongly activating and directs to the ortho and para positions. With bromine water substitution is so rapid that all three positions are brominated, giving a white precipitate of 2,4,6-tribromoaniline.
