![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.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fdaac3699-bbcf-491f-ae47-6900b381c75d%2Fa1f4fb40-c19b-45e9-b73e-61e35fe28b62%2F83h54si_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
