States of matter — practice question

Methoxybenzene undergoes reaction with $\text{Br}_2\text{(aq)}$ in the same way as phenol does.
(a(i))

Draw the structural formula for the product formed when methoxybenzene reacts with an excess of bromine.

(a(ii))[4]

Suggest a chemical reaction that could be used to distinguish methoxybenzene from phenol. State the reagent, describe the observations you would expect, and give an equation for the reaction.

(b(i))

Suggest the structures of compounds $D$ and $E$, and draw them in the boxes above.

(b(ii))[4]

Suggest the reagents and conditions for step 2 and step 4.
