Answer #1

Hi,

The major products of this reaction in presence of FeBr3 and in absence of UV light would be a mixture of 2-Bromoethylbenzene and 4-Bromoethylbenzene.

This is because ethyl group are ortho and para directing which would mean that incoming groups would tend to go to 2,4-position if we assume methyl group is at position 1.
