Chapter 19, Problem 19.35P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The synthesis of $\text{1, 4-dimethoxy-2-propylbenzene}$ from hydroquinone using other reagents is to be proposed.

Concept introduction:

Friedel-Crafts acylation is defined as the reaction which is used for the preparation of ketone by adding acyl group to the aromatic ring. This reaction used Lewis acid $\left({\text{AlCl}}_{\text{3}}\right)$ as a catalyst.

The organic reaction which is used for the preparation of an alkane from an aldehyde or ketone using reagent ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{NNH}}_{\text{2}}$ in the presence of base $\left({\text{OH}}^{-}\right)$ is called Wolff-Kishner reduction reaction. The major product of the reaction is present in maximum yield as compared to the other.
