Answer 1

Answer:

1. Phenol

  Amination and bromination

2. Toluene

Sulfonation and chlorination

Explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with with stating the starting materials and the kind of reaction needed for the production of the particular compound in question.

We proceed as follows;

COMPOUND 1

Name; 2-amino-4-bromophenol

Starting materials; Phenol

Reactions; Amination and Halogenation(Bromination to be specific)

To produce 2-amino-bromophenol, two reactions are incorporated on the phenol starting product. Amination is carried out using aminating reagent such as hydroxylamine through electrophilic substitution while halogenation is  carried out using bromine water

COMPOUND 2

Name; 5-chloro-2-methylbenzenesulfonic acid

Starting materials; Toluene

Reactions; Sulphonation and Halogenation (Bromination)

To produce 5-chloro-2-methylbenzenesulfonic acid, two reactions are incorporated on the toluene starting product. Chlorination is carried out first, while sulfonation using sulfuric acid is carried out afterwards
