Answer 1

Concepts and reason

The concept used to solve this problem is determining the product from the reaction of benzene and given alkyl halides in the presence of by Fridel-Crafts reaction.

Fundamentals

Fridel-Crafts reaction:

Charls Friedel and James M. Crafts discovered new methods for the preparation of alkyl-benzene and acyl-benzene, these reactions are now called the Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation.

The general equation for a Fridel-Crafts alkylation is as follows:

The general equation for a Fridel-Crafts acylation is as follows:

Part a

The given alkyl halide is as follows;

When the above alkyl halide is treated with benzene in presence of alkyl-benzene is form as follows:

Part b

The given alkyl halide is as follows;

When the above alkyl halide is treated with benzene in presence of alkyl-benzene is form as follows:

Part c

The given alkyl halide is as follows;

When the above alkyl halide is treated with benzene in presence of alkyl-benzene is form as follows:

Ans: Part a

Thus,the product is.

Part b

Thus, the product is.

Part c

Thus, the product is.
