Chapter 18, Problem 18.30P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The two step sequence that converts benzene to given compound is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The replacement or substitution of one functional group with another different functional group in any chemical reaction is termed as substitution reaction. The electron deficient chemical species that contains positive charge are known as electrophile. In electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction, electrophile takes the position of hydrogen atom by attacking the electron rich carbon atom of benzene.
