$3	ext{-aminoanisole}$ and elimination-addition reaction

Vedclass · Answer

(A) The reaction of $3	ext{-bromoanisole}$ with $NaNH_2$ proceeds via the formation of a benzyne intermediate.$1$. The strong base $NH_2^-$ abstracts the ortho-hydrogen relative to the $Br$ atom,leading to the elimination of $Br^-$ and the formation of a benzyne intermediate.$2$. The nucleophile $NH_2^-$ can then attack the benzyne intermediate at two different positions.$3$. Attack at the meta-position (relative to the $OCH_3$ group) leads to a more stable carbanion intermediate because the negative charge is closer to the electron-withdrawing $OCH_3$ group.$4$. Protonation of this intermediate yields $3	ext{-aminoanisole}$ as the major product.$5$. Since the incoming nucleophile ends up on the same carbon atom where the leaving group was originally present,this is not a cine substitution reaction; it is an elimination-addition reaction.
