Textbook Question

Chapter 17.10, Problem 17.18P

Which reactions will produce the desired product in good yield? You may assume that aluminum chloride is added as a catalyst in each case. For the reactions that will not give a good yield of the desired product, predict the major products.

Reagents	Desired Product
(a) benzene + n-butyl bromide	n-butylbenzene
(b) ethylbenzene + tert-butyl chloride	p-ethyl-tert-butylbenzene
(c) bromobenzene + ethyl chloride	p-bromoethylbenzene
(d) benzamide (PhCONH₂)+CH₃CH₂Cl	p-ethylbenzamide
(e) toluene+HNO₃, H₂SO₄, heat	2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT)
