Which reactions will produce the desired product in good yield? You may assume that aluminum chloride is added as a catalyst in each case. For the reactions that will not give a good yield of the desired product, predict the major products.
    Reagents                                                                  Desired Product
(a) benzene + n-butyl bromide                             n-butylbenzene
(b) ethylbenzene + tert-butyl chloride                  p-ethyl-tert-butylbenzene
(c) bromobenzene + ethyl chloride                       p-bromoethylbenzene
(d) benzamide (PhCONH2) + CH3CH2Cl               p-ethylbenzamide
(e) toluene + HNO3, H2SO4, heat                        2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT)
