Provide the chemical equation for the bromination of anisole.

(N/A) The bromination of anisole is an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction.
$1$. The $-OCH_3$ group is strongly activating,so the reaction occurs even in the absence of a Lewis acid catalyst like $FeBr_3$.
$2$. The reaction is carried out using bromine $(Br_2)$ in ethanoic acid $(CH_3COOH)$.
$3$. The reaction yields a mixture of ortho and para isomers,with $p$-bromoanisole being the major product $(90\%)$.
The chemical equation is:
$C_6H_5OCH_3 + Br_2 \xrightarrow{CH_3COOH} C_6H_4(Br)OCH_3$ (mixture of $o$-bromoanisole and $p$-bromoanisole).
