Answer 1

AIG t-Butylbenzene CI This is best method foo Synthesis of benzophenone clerivative because t-butyl goocep is bwkies gooup, jt ootho position is steocally hindeoed. Hechsophile can not appooach towaods ootho , 30 hede coet get desired pooduct But in case of chlooobenzene, G1 is not too bury, hence acylanion can ce takes place ootho as well as para, Here we gier mixture of po oduct:
