When the alkene below is brominated with nbs reaction can occur at more than one carbon.

list all of the carbons in the structure below to which bromine can become attached upon reaction of the alkene with nbs.

note: when the structure is symmetrical, you need to list every numbered carbon to which bromine may be attached even if it leads to same product as reaction at another carbon.

Four products are possible.(in attachment)

2,3,4,5 carbons attached to the bromine.

Explanation:

NBS is N-bromosuccinamide which is used to brominate the allylic and benzylic positions of the compound.

Mainly used for the allylic bromination Here, four products are possible among them two are formed by the direct allylic bromination and remaining two products are formed by the rearrangement of the radical formation.

2,3,4,5 carbons of the compound are attached to the bromine.

explanation:

the largest database of organic compounds lists about 10 million substances, which include compounds originating from living organisms and those synthesized by chemists. the number of potential organic compounds has been estimated at 1060—an astronomically high number. the existence of so many organic molecules is a consequence of the ability of carbon atoms to form up to four strong bonds to other carbon atoms, resulting in chains and rings of many different sizes, shapes, and complexities. the simplest organic compounds contain only the elements carbon and hydrogen, and are called hydrocarbons. even though they are composed of only two types of atoms, there is a wide variety of hydrocarbons because they may consist of varying lengths of chains, branched chains, and rings of carbon atoms, or combinations of these structures. in addition, hydrocarbons may differ in the types of carbon-carbon bonds present in their molecules. many hydrocarbons are found in plants, animals, and their fossils; other hydrocarbons have been prepared in the laboratory. we use hydrocarbons every day, mainly as fuels, such as natural gas, acetylene, propane, butane, and the principal components of gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil. the familiar plastics polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene are also hydrocarbons. we can distinguish several types of hydrocarbons by differences in the bonding between carbon atoms. this leads to differences in geometries and in the hybridization of the carbon orbitals.

the answer is definitely c.
