Interpretation:
The equations for the preparation of each of the given compounds from anisole and any necessary organic or inorganic reagents are to be written.
Concept introduction:
All activating substituents attached to an
Halogen substituents are ortho and para-directing but slightly deactivating.
Strongly deactivating substituents are meta directing.
If a benzene ring is attached to two or more substituents, the site of further substitution is decided by the combined effect of its substituents.
The regioselectivity is determined by the more activating substituent.
Friedel Craft alkylation takes place using an alkyl chloride in the presence of aluminum chloride.
Sulfonation of benzene is carried out using sulfur trioxide in the presence of sulfuric acid.
Halogenation of benzene is carried out using a suitable halogen in the presence of a Lewis acid.

- Outline a synthesis of the following compounds (A-C) from acetoacetic ester OR malonic ester. Show the starting material and reagents. If the synthesis is not possible, indicate why. A) hept-6-en-2-one B) 2-benzylheptanoic acid C) 3-isobutyl-2-heptanonearrow_forwardStarting with benzene, toluene, or phenol as the only sources of aromatic rings, show how to synthesize the following. Assume in all syntheses that mixtures of ortho-para products can be separated into the desired isomer. Q.)m-Nitrobenzenesulfonic acidarrow_forwardCompound A has the molecular formula C14H25Br and was obtained by reaction of sodium acetylide (HC≡CNa) )with 1,12-dibromododecane. On treatment of compound A with sodium amide, it was converted to compound B (C14H24). Ozonolysis of compound B gave the diacid HO2C(CH2)12CO2H. Catalytic hydrogenation of compound B over Lindlar palladium gave compound C (C14H26), while hydrogenation over platinum gave compound D (C14H28). Sodium-ammonia reduction of compound B gave compound E (C14H26). Both C and E yielded O═CH(CH2)12CH═O on ozonolysis. Assign structures to compound A through E so as to be consistent with the observed transformations.arrow_forward
