(b)
Interpretation:
The synthesis route for the formation of the valproic acid from either diethyl malonate or ethyl acetate is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
The chemical reaction in which an electrophilic group is replaced by another functional group is known as the electrophilic substitution reaction. When the electrophilic substitution happens on an aromatic ring such as benzene then the reaction is known as electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction.
