Question

If aniline is reacted directly with an excess of uncontrolled aqueous bromine ($Br_2/H_2O$), what is the exact identity of the major product?

Answer: C

💡 Solution & Explanation

The extreme activation caused by the strongly electron-donating $-NH_2$ group prevents the reaction from stopping at monosubstitution. Direct aqueous bromination aggressively substitutes all available ortho and para positions, resulting in 2,4,6-tribromoaniline as a white precipitate.
