Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: An aromatic substitution reaction to show the path for the conversion of pentamer to the final synthetic detergent is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Hydrogen gas in the presence of Ni metal catalyst is used to reduce unsaturated hydrocarbon to saturated hydrocarbon. The Fridel-crafts alkylation comprises the alkylation of aromatic ring in the presence of Lewis acid catalyst. Concentrated H2SO4 is used for sulfonation of aromatic compound. This reaction is an example of electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. NaOH/H2O is used to convert sulfonic group into sodium salt of sulfonate.

To determine: An aromatic substitution reaction to show the path for the conversion of pentamer to the final synthetic detergent.
