Question

do both please

2. Write a stepwise mechanism for the following reaction. AKT, 2110 3. Write the products of the following sequences of reactions. 1. Cl, FeCl3 2. HNO3, H2SO4 3. H. Ni

Answer 1

1.

This reaction is called Friedel craft reaction alkylation reaction which involves alkylation of aromatic ring with alkyl halide in presence of strong lewis acid  

In the above said example, lewis acid is AlCl3 and benzene is the aromatic compound and dichlormethane is CH2Cl2 is the alkyl halide.

The reaction mechanism is as below.

Alchetel CH2 cl + Alche Hud el ch EL

Q3.

Benzene on reaction with Cl2 in presence of a catalyst gives rise to chlorobenzene. Further on nitration leads to the formation of ortho and para substituted nitro compound because of ortho and para directing nature of chloro group as shown. Metallic hydrogenation reduces the nitro compound to anline. The sequence is shown below.

Et ces felis fito 3, H₂SO4 LU
