#1. Using curved arrows to symbolize electrons, write a complete reaction mechanism for the bromination of acetanilide to create the product. Include the resonance structures for any charged, delocalized intermediates that are involved.
#2. Why does performing the experiment at 0 degrees Celsius help you identify some of the relative rates of reactivity?
#3. Explain why a methyl group is a mildly activating group while a methoxy group is strong activating.
#4. Explain why-- NH2 act as an activator and-- NO2 act as a deactivator. Include resonance and charges in your explanation.
#5. Draw ALL of the intermediate resonance structures that would occur if bromine were added to anisole. Draw the possibilites for ortho-addition, meta-addition, and para-addition and explain why some addition sites will be preferred using your resonance structures.
