Andhyd fecl2 with cl2 splits it into cl+ and cl- Electrophilic sub reaction follows with benzene Also keto enol tautomerism you get that the compound in the second q is just 4 hydroxy phenol. Aka hydroquinone. Does this help?

Sir are u talking about the reactant, because I wasn't able to get 4 hydroxy phenol

I think 7th me to acidic medium ke karan tautomerisation favour hona chahiye 'cause that leads to aromaticity I'll send a picture drawing everything once I get hold of pen and paper

in the second case, the h comes from the c that has a couple of them, no? its okay, this is on of those things that once you know you remember, dw about it And yes, what varun said usually hydroquinone form me rehta hai cos of aromatisation

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enol See under the heading phenols
Enol
In organic chemistry, alkenols (shortened to enols) are a type of reactive structure or intermediate in organic chemistry that is represented as an alkene (olefin) with a hydroxyl group attached to one end of the alkene double bond (C=C−OH). The terms enol and alkenol are portmanteaus deriving from "-ene"/"alkene" and the "-ol" suffix indicating...

Thanks a lot sir Got it I forgot the other carbon

most welcome. shall we close this one out?

So just normal nucleophilic addition for the ring right? My ans is just a but the book says b, cl at meta

well it is ortho to one OH :)
Lindane
LindaneOP7mo ago
Yes sir u can close this out i have got my ans, this the first time in my 2 years someone has actually cleared my doubts, thanks a lot

a exists with just tautomerism
Lindane

Ok so it wasn't meta directing

oh most welcome dude. come and ask as many as you like here! na no way. OH is ring activating right. but since there are 2 oh groups, all 4 positions are equivalent
Lindane
LindaneOP7mo ago
Ohh
iTeachChem
iTeachChem7mo ago
so more than meta, ortho, try and see which group causes what effect
Lindane
LindaneOP7mo ago
Yes sir thanks
