Chapter 18, Problem 18.41P
You have learned two ways to make an alkyl benzene: Friedel–Crafts alky lation, and Friedel–Crafts acylation followed by reduction. Although some alkyl benzenes can be prepared by both methods, it is often true that only one method can be used to prepare a given alkyl benzene. Which method(s) can be used to prepare each of the following compounds from benzene? Show the steps that would be used.
