(b)
Interpretation:
The two step sequence that converts benzene to given compound is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The replacement or substitution of one functional group with another different functional group in any chemical reaction is termed as substitution reaction. The electron deficient chemical species that contains positive charge are known as electrophile. In electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction, electrophile takes the position of hydrogen atom by attacking the electron rich carbon atom of benzene.

- Show how to convert 1-butyne to each of these compounds. (a) CH3CH2CCNa+ (b) CH3CH2CCDarrow_forwardWhen toluene is treated with sulfuric and nitric acids under special conditions, three nitro (NO2) groups are substituted for hydrogens at the 2, 4 and 6 positions on the ring (the next section discusses why the 2, 4, and 6 positions are substituted). The product is a highly explosive substance called 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene. This subastance is commonly known by a three letter name. What is it?arrow_forwardShow how to convert propene to this compound , using any inorganic reagents as necessary. Q.) Propanonearrow_forward
