Predict the products of the following reactions. Show stereochemistry and regiochemistry of the product, where relevant.

Transcribed Image Text:The image illustrates a series of chemical reactions starting with toluene, represented by its molecular structure:
1. The first reaction involves two steps:
- Reaction with mercuric acetate \((\text{Hg(OAc)}_2)\) in water \((\text{H}_2\text{O})\).
- Followed by reduction with sodium borohydride \((\text{NaBH}_4)\).
2. The second reaction involves the addition of methylene iodide \((\text{CH}_2\text{I}_2)\) and zinc with copper \((\text{Zn(Cu)})\).
3. The third transformation uses hydrogen gas \((\text{H}_2)\) in the presence of a platinum catalyst \((\text{Pt})\).
4. The fourth reaction employs potassium permanganate \((\text{KMnO}_4)\) with an acidic medium \( (\text{H}^+)\).
5. The fifth reaction involves the addition of water \((\text{H}_2\text{O})\) and sulfuric acid \((\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4)\).
6. In the sixth reaction, bromine \((\text{Br}_2)\) is applied in an aqueous solution \((\text{H}_2\text{O})\).
7. The final reaction involves the addition of hydrochloric acid \((\text{HCl})\).
These reactions typically involve transformations such as oxidation, reduction, halogenation, and other functional group changes onto the aromatic ring of toluene.
