Chapter 18, Problem 18.60P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The resonance structures for the intermediate carbocation are to be drawn to explain the formation of product A only.

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.

1) The carbon-oxygen double bond present in aldehydes and ketones is very polar. What does this mean and how does it arise? 2) The carbon-oxygen double bond is readily attacked by nucleophiles like cyanide ions or ammonia.           (i) What do you understand by the term nucleophile?           (ii) Which part of the carbon-oxygen double bond is attractive to nucleophiles? 3) Why is there a difference between aldehydes and ketones in their response to oxidizing agents such as potassium dichromate(VI) solution acidified with dilute sulfuric acid?
What reactions and reagents can be used to make phenol from benzene if electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions are excluded and benzene is the only source of carbon?
Define the following terms Homolytic bond breakage: Nucleophile
