PRACTICE PROBLEM 15.15
Suppose you needed to synthesize m-chloroethylbenzene from benzene.
You could begin by chlorinating benzene and then follow with a Friedel–Crafts alkylation using chloroethane and
(a) Why will neither method give the desired product?

Explain why aniline and phenoxide ion have strong UV-absorptions.arrow_forwardG.5.arrow_forwardIn an aqueous solution containing sodium bicarbonate, aniline reacts quickly withbromine to give 2,4,6-tribromoaniline. Nitration of aniline requires very strong conditions,however, and the yields (mostly m-nitroaniline) are poor.(a) What conditions are used for nitration, and what form of aniline is present under theseconditions?arrow_forward
