Ozonolysis process was carried out towards an unknown organic compound, X, to produce propanal, C3H6O and compound Y. Propanal was then further oxidized into compound Z, C3H6O2 by using potassium permanganate, KMnO4 under acidic condition and heating. As an alternative, compound Y can be produced from the reaction of benzene with ethanoyl chloride, CH3COCl with the presence of aluminium trichloride, AlCl3. (i) Draw the structural formula of compounds X, Y, and Z (ii) Show the formation of electrophile that will be reacted with benzene for the formation of compound Y. (iii) What is the name of reaction to convert benzene into compound Y?
