Write out the two-step sequence that converts benzene to each compound.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a.

b.

Step by step solution

01

Acylation of benzene

Friedel-Crafts acylation adds an acyl group (R-C=O) to benzene using acid chloride (R-(C=O)-Cl) and AlCl3.

02

Clemmensen reduction of ketones

Reduction of carbonyl group on benzene can be done through Clemmensen reduction.

Zinc amalgam (Zn-Hg) is used as a reductant under acidic conditions.

03

Sequence of reaction

Acylation of benzene, followed by reduction of the carbonyl group, results in the formation of the required product.
