Predict the products of the three reaction sequences shown: chlorination with $\text{Cl}_2$ and light, then reaction with $\text{NaOH}$ and heat, to form a product with molecular formula $\text{C}_8\text{H}_{10}\text{O}$; chlorination with $\text{Cl}_2$ and $\text{AlCl}_3$, then nitration with $\text{HNO}_3$ and $\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4$ at $55^{\circ}\text{C}$, to form a product with molecular formula $\text{C}_8\text{H}_8\text{ClO}_2\text{N}$; and oxidation with $\text{KMnO}_4$ in alkaline conditions, followed by acidification and esterification with $\text{CH}_3\text{OH}$ and concentrated $\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4$ and heat, to form a product with molecular formula $\text{C}_{10}\text{H}_{10}\text{O}_4$.
