Answer 1

Concepts and reason

This problem is based on the concept of sulfonation reaction of an aromatic compound.

Aromatic compound are the compounds which mostly contain benzene ring in their chemical composition. Compound which contain benzene ring and a carbonyl group attached to it, are called aromatic carbonyl compounds.

Fundamentals

Sulfonation reaction involves the introduction of sulfonic group in order to give a sulfonic acid in the presence of fuming sulfonic acid.
