Chapter 18, Problem 18.68P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The synthesis of X from phenol by the use of any organic or inorganic reagents 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.
