Question: How might you synthesize the following substances from benzene?
(a) m-Chloronitrobenzene
(b) m-Chloroethylbenzene
(c) 4-Chloro-1-nitro-2-propylbenzene
(d) 3-Bromo-2-methylbenzenesulfonic acid
The nitroso group, - NO, is one of the few non-halogens that is an ortho- and para-directing deactivator. Explain this behaviour by drawing resonance structures of the carbocation intermediates in ortho, meta, and para electrophilic reaction on nitroso benzene,.
Question: You know the mechanism of HBr addition to alkenes, and you know the effects of various substituent groups on aromatic substitution. Use this knowledge to predict which of the following two alkenes reacts faster with HBr. Explain your answer by drawing resonance structures of the carbocation intermediates.
Treatment of p-bromotoluene with NaOH at yields a mixture of twoproducts, but treatment of m-bromotoluene with NaOH yields a mixture ofthreeproducts. Explain.
