Answer #1

g

Benzene react with methyl chloride in the presence AlCl3 to give methylbenzene via Friedel-Crafts Alkylation reaction

Methylbenzene oxidized with KMnO4 to give benzoic acid

Benzoic acid are meta directing group due to carboxylic acid group are electron withdrawing group.

Benzoic acid undergo bromination in the presence of Br2/FeBr3 via electrophilic substitution reaction to 3-bromobenzoic acid

h

benzene undergo bromination in the presence of Br2/FeBr3 via electrophilic substitution to give

bromobenzene

bromo substitution is ortho para directing group,

bromobenzene undergo Friedel-Crafts Alkylation reaction with methyl chloride in the presence AlCl3 to give 1-bromo-2-methylbenzene and 1-bromo-4-methylbenzene

1-bromo-4-methylbenzene product is major product due to stric effct

1-bromo-4-methylbenzene undergo oxidizing reaction with KMnO4 to give 4-bromobenzoic acid
