Question- In the bromination of 4-ethoxyacetanilide, bromine is slowly generated in situ by the redox reaction shown below. Aside from the hazards associated with handling bromine, what is the advantage of generating bromine in this fashion as opposed to adding bromine directly to the reaction mixture.
5br- + BrO3- + 6H+ --> 3Br2 + 6H2O
