Predict the product of the reaction between toluene and bromine in presence of iron. draw arrow-pushing mechanism for the major products.
anything would be appreciated because i have no idea how to start this!

Structures of products have been given below

Explanation:

It is an example of bromination reaction of toluene in presence of a catalyst e.g. FeMethyl group in toluene is o/p-directing group. Therefore Br adds onto ortho and para position to methyl group in toluene.Reaction goes through electrophilic aromatic substitution. Here Br replaces one H atom from benzene ring.Here ortho product appears as a major one due to the fact that  inductive effect of methyl substituent operates majorly at ortho position.reaction mechanism and structures of products have been shown below.

Ithink the answer is 56.
