Interpretation:

The synthesis of the given compound by using nitrobenzene, p-nitrobenzyl alcohol or p-nitrotoluene as a starting material has to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

The substitution reaction involves the replacement of one functional group by another functional group. In nucleophilic substitution, an electron rich species attacks the species that is deficient in electrons.

In a nucleophilic substitution reaction, the electrophile and the leaving group together form a substrate. The nucleophile attacks over the substrate and there occurs the removal of leaving group from the substrate.
