Why isn’t FeBr3 used as a catalyst in the first step of the synthesis of 1,3,5-tribromobenzene?
Show how each of the following compounds can be synthesized from benzene:
a. o-bromopropylbenzene
b. m-nitrobenzoic acid
c. p-nitrobenzoic acid
d. p-chloroaniline
e. m-chloroaniline
f. m-xylene
g. 2-phenylpropene
h. m-bromopropylbenzene
i. 1-phenyl-2-propanol
Question: Using resonance contributors for the carbocation intermediate, explain why a phenyl group is an ortho–para director.

Question: The pKa values of a few ortho-, meta-, and para-substituted benzoic acids are shown below:

The relative pKa values depend on the substituent. For chloro-substituted benzoic acids, the ortho isomer is the most acidic and the para isomer is the least
acidic; for nitro-substituted benzoic acids, the ortho isomer is the most acidic and the meta isomer is the least acidic; and for amino-substituted benzoic acids, the meta isomer is the most acidic and the ortho isomer is the least acidic. Explain these relative acidities.
a. Cl: ortho > meta > para
b. NO2: ortho > para > meta
c. NH2: meta > para > ortho
Benzene underwent a Friedel–Crafts acylation followed by a Wolff–Kishner reduction. The product gave the following 1H NMR spectrum. What acylchloride was used in the Friedel–Crafts acylation?
