Chapter 18, Problem 18.41P
You have learned two ways to make an alkyl benzene: Friedel–Crafts alky lation, and Friedel–Crafts acylation followed by reduction. Although some alkyl benzenes can be prepared by both methods, it is often true that only one method can be used to prepare a given alkyl benzene. Which method(s) can be used to prepare each of the following compounds from benzene? Show the steps that would be used.

What is the best way to turn benzene into the following product? Would friedel-crafts alkylation followed by some sort of nitration work or would that be too low yield?

Strong support for the mechanism of the nucleophilic aromatic substitutionreaction that proceeds through a benzyne intermediate comes from the reaction shown here, in which bromobenzene is treated with KNH2 in the presence of cyclopentadiene. A product that is isolated has the formula C11H10. Draw the structure of that product and explain how it validates the production of a benzyne intermediate.
