2. and 3.) In each reaction box, place the best reagent and conditions from the list below.

In each reaction box, place the best reagent and conditions from the list below. In each reaction box, place the best reagent and conditions from the list below.

Answer 1

Concepts and Reason

This problem is based on the concept of fridal craft alkylation and acylation reaction of benzene.

Benzene is an electron rich species which undergoes electrophilic substitution reactions.

Fridal craft alkylation and acylation also comes in the category of electrophilic substitution reaction of benzene. In this reaction, alkyl group and acyl group are electrophilic substituents.

Fundamentals

In fridal craft alkylation and acylation, compounds like ${\rm{AlC}}{{\rm{l}}_3}$ and ${\rm{FeC}}{{\rm{l}}_3}$ work as catalyst in anhydrous form in order to form an electrophile substituted product.
