Question

Choose the right reagent or series of reagents from the ones listed to synthesize the following molecule (see picture) from benzene (C6H6) or toluene (C6H5CH3). C6H6 and Br2. FeBr3 followed by CH3CH2OH, base, and cat. Pd, phosphine C6H5CH3 and Cl2. AlCl3 followed by NaOH, Delta then NaOH, CH3CH2Br C6H6 and NaOH, Delta, followed by NaOH and CH3CH2Br C6H6 and EtOH followed by AlCl3 C6H6 and Cl2, AlCl3 followed by NaOH and CH3CH2Br C6H6 and Cl2, AlCl3 followed by NaOH, Delta then NaOH and CH3CH2Br

Explanation / Answer

The last one benzene -- Ph-Cl ----> Ph-O(-) Na(+)------>Ph-O-CH2CH3 Williamson synthesis
