Answer:
a) 2-bromopyrrole
Explanation:
Our options for this questions are:
a) 2-bromopyrrole
b) 2,3-dibromopyrrole
c) N-bromopyrrole
d) 3-bromopyrrole
To understand how the reaction works we have to start with the <u>resonance structures</u>. (Figure 1), on these structures, we will obtain a n<u>egative charge on carbon 2</u> in the pyrrole ring, therefore on this carbon we can generate an attack to an electrophile.
The second step is to check how the mechanism take place. An <u>electrophile is generated</u> by the and
. This electrophile can be <u>attacked</u> by the negative charge on carbon 2 producing the 2-bromopyrrole. (See figure 2).
I hope it helps!
