Both F and J contain the arene functional group. Identify the other functional groups present in F and J.
State the number of chiral centres in a molecule of F and in a molecule of J.
A student suggests a multistep synthesis of F from benzene, as shown in Table 4.1. Complete Table 4.1 by giving the reagents and conditions for steps 1 and 4, and the structure of product D.
In a second multistep synthesis, the student changes the order in which the reagents and conditions are used. The reaction scheme is shown in Fig. 4.2. G is the major product of this synthesis. Draw the structure of G. Explain why G is the major product of the synthesis rather than E.
Give the molecular formula for L.
State the two reaction types that occur when J reacts with NaOH(aq).
Write an equation for the formation of M in reaction 1.
Draw N, the product formed in reaction 2.
Explain why phenol is a weaker acid than K.
Explain why the reagents and conditions for these two reactions are different.
