Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure having a molecular formula C8H7Br2NO3 that is prepared during the reaction of 1,2,3-tribromo-5-nitrobenzene with sodium ethoxide is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions involve the substitution of a leaving group by an upcoming nucleophile.

The aromatic ring is itself act as a nucleophile, hence the ring undergoes this substitution only in the presence of a strong electron withdrawing so that it stabilized the negative charge on the ring.
