How could you use ethylbenzene to prepare each compound? More than one step is required.
Question: Using resonance structures, explain why a nitroso group (-NO) is an ortho, para director that deactivates a benzene ring toward electrophilic attack.
In Step [2] of Mechanism 18.1, loss of a proton to form the substitution product was drawn using one resonance structure only. Use curved arrows to show how the other two resonance structures can be converted to the substitution product (PhE) by removal of a proton with: B.
Draw a stepwise mechanism for the sulfonation of an alkyl benzene such as A to form a substituted benzenesulfonic acid B. Treatment of B with base forms a sodium salt C that can be used as a synthetic detergent to clean away dirt (see Problem 3.22).
