With a suitable catalyst present, benzene reacts with bromine to form bromobenzene as one product. Give the name or formula of the second product in this reaction.
In the presence of the catalyst, bromine may be treated as forming the electrophile $\mathrm{Br^+}$. Complete the mechanism showing how benzene reacts with $\mathrm{Br^+}$, using curly arrows to indicate the movement of electron pairs.
Name this mechanism.
Benzene can act as the starting material in the synthesis of cyclohexylmethanol, $\mathrm{C_6H_{11}CH_2OH}$, as shown. Identify a suitable reagent and a suitable catalyst for step 1.
Draw the structure of $A$.
Identify suitable reagents for steps 3 and 4.
Deduce the number of peaks in the carbon-13 NMR spectrum of cyclohexylmethanol.
