Explanation:
Aromatic compounds undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions in which the aromatic ring is maintained.
Substituted benzenes may be more or less reactive towards electrophilic aromatic substitution than benzene depending on the nature of the substituent present in the ring.
Substituents that activate the ring towards electrophilic substitution such as -OCH3 are ortho-para directing.
The major products of the bromination of anisole are p-bromoanisole and o-bromoanisole. The resonance structures leading to these products are shown in the image attached.
