Describe two ways to prepare anisole from benzene.
Rank the following compounds from largest Keqto smallest Keq for hydrate formation:

A mixture of 0.10 mol benzene and 0.10 mol p-xylene was allowed to react with 0.10 mol nitronium ion until all the nitronium ion was gone. Two products were obtained: 0.002 mol of one and 0.098 mol of the other.
Propose a mechanism for the following reaction that explains why the configuration of the asymmetric center in the reactant is retained in the product:
