Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The conversion of retrosynthesis to synthesis and the reagents that are required in each step for the following conversion is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The addition of alkyl group to benzene results in the formation of alkyl benzene is done through Friedel Craft alkylation reaction.

In this reaction, the interference of a Lewis acid is required to initiate the respective reaction by withdrawing the halogen from an alkyl halide and make it an activated electrophile

This electrophile attacks on benzene ring and results in the alkylation of benzene ring along with the removal of respective hydrogen halide.
