Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the reaction between ammonia and bromobenzene on heating is expected to form tetraphenylammonium bromide or not is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Ammonia acts as a base as well as a nucleophile. Bromobenzene is electron-rich species due to bromine which act as an electron-donating group. Resonance stabilizes the phenyl ring by making it electron efficient with delocalization of
(b)
Interpretation:
The catalyst used to bring about the given reaction under relatively mild conditions is to be predicted.
