Question
Chapter 15, Problem 32P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The given compounds are to be synthesized from benzene.
Concept introduction:
Benzene and substituted benzene undergo electrophilic substitution reactions in the presence of an electrophilic reagent like Lewis acids. The electrophilic substitution on the substituted benzene occurs on the basis of nature of reagent present on the benzene ring. If the group is ortho-para directing that is electron donating, then ortho and para isomers will be formed as products and if the group is meta-directing that is electron withdrawing, then meta product is formed.
