Question

Select the best reagents for each of the five reactions.

 

The image illustrates a series of chemical reactions centered around a benzene ring (C₆H₆) as the primary structure. Various reagents (A, B, C, D, and E) are used to transform the benzene into different compounds, each featuring specific functional groups.

1. **Reagent A**:
   - Transforms benzene into nitrobenzene by adding a nitro group (–NO₂) to the benzene ring.

2. **Reagent B**:
   - Converts benzene into chlorobenzene by substituting a chlorine atom (–Cl) onto the benzene ring.

3. **Reagent C**:
   - Produces benzenesulfonic acid by adding a sulfonic acid group (–SO₃H) to the benzene ring.

4. **Reagent D**:
   - Converts benzene into ethylbenzene by introducing an ethyl group (–CH₂CH₃) onto the benzene ring.

5. **Reagent E**:
   - Forms acetophenone by attaching an acetyl group (–COCH₃) to the benzene ring.

Each reaction showcases the versatility of benzene as a core structure, allowing it to form diverse aromatic compounds through straightforward chemical transformations.
