Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given parts with respect to tert- butylbenzene is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

The rate of electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS) on benzene is the same at all carbon atoms as they are all equivalent.

The presence of a substituent on benzene ring modifies the rates at which EAS occurs at different ring carbons.

The rate of EAS depends on the position of the carbon relative to the substituent already present and the number of equivalent carbons of each type.

Friedel–Crafts acylation of the individual isomers of xylene with acetyl chloride and aluminum chloride yields a single product, different for each xylene isomer, in high yield in each case. Write the structures of the products of acetylation of o-, m-, and p-xylene.
what alkyl halide will hexane form if it undergoes free radical subsitution?
we know that ethers, such as diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran, are quite resistant to the action of dilute acids and require hot concentrated HI or HBr for cleavage. However, acetals in which two ether groups are linked to the same carbon undergo hydrolysis readily, even in dilute aqueous acid. How do you account for this marked difference in chemical reactivity toward dilute aqueous acid between ethers and acetals?
