Chapter 20, Problem 20.68P

Devise three different methods to prepare each compound from benzene: (a) ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}\text{OH}\left(\text{2-phenylethanol}\right)$; (b) ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}{\text{COCH}}_{\text{3}}\left(\text{acetophenone}\right)$. You may also use organic compounds that have one or two carbons, and any required inorganic reagents. At least two of the three methods must use a reaction of the organometallic reagents described in this chapter.
