What organocuprate reagent would you use for the following substitutions?

Which reactions will produce the desired product in good yield? You may assume that aluminum chloride is added as a catalyst in each case. For the reactions that will not give a good yield of the desired product, predict the major products.
Reagents Desired Product
(a) benzene + n-butyl bromide n-butylbenzene
(b) ethylbenzene + tert-butyl chloride p-ethyl-tert-butylbenzene
(c) bromobenzene + ethyl chloride p-bromoethylbenzene
(d) benzamide (PhCONH3) + CH3 CH2 CI p-ethylbenzamide
(e) toluene + HNO3, H2SO4 , heat 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT)
Predict the major products of treating the following compounds with hot, concentrated potassium permanganate, followed by acidification with dilute HCl.
(a) isopropylbenzene
(b) p-xylene
(c) tetralin
Triphenylmethanol is insoluble in water, but when it is treated with concentrated sulfuric acid, a bright yellow solution results. As this yellow solution is diluted with water, its color disappears and a precipitate of triphenylmethanol reappears. Suggest a structure for the bright yellow species, and explain this unusual behavior.
Phenol reacts with three equivalents of bromine in CCl4 (in the dark) to give a product of formula C6H3OBr3. When this product is added to bromine water, a yellow solid of molecular formula C6H2OBr4precipitates out of the solution. The IR spectrum of the yellow precipitate shows a strong absorption (much like that of a quinone) around 1680cm-1. Propose structures for the two products.
