(c)
Interpretation:
The reaction of 1-methylindoline with bromine in dark is to be completed.
Concept introduction:
Electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction involves the substitution of an electrophile on an aromatic ring. The π- bonds of an aromatic ring makes it electron rich which attracts an electron deficient electrophile towards itself and a substitution reaction takes place.

Answer to Problem 26.34AP
The complete reaction of 1-methylindoline with bromine in dark is shown below.
Explanation of Solution
The reaction to be completed is shown below.
Figure 5
When 1-methylindoline reacts with bromine in dark, bromination occurs on the aromatic ring as in dark, bromination does not occur in aliphatic ring. Therefore, electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction occurs over the aromatic ring on the carbon -5 which is a nucleophilic center. Bromination does not occur at carbon -3a and carbon -7 due to steric hindrance by hydrogen atom and methyl group respectively.
The complete reaction is shown below.

Explanation of Solution
The reaction to be completed is shown below.
