Question
Chapter 16.SE, Problem 65AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Starting from either benzene or phenol how MON-0585 can be synthesized is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Benzene is subjected to Friedal-Crafts reaction by treating with isopropyl chloride in the presence of AlCl3. The isopropylbenzene is brominated in the benzyl position by reaction with NBS. The bromocompound obtained is treated with phenol in the presence of AlCl3 when a p-substituted phenol is produced. The p-substituted phenol when subjected to another Friedal-Crafts reaction with tert-butylchloride in the presence of AlCl3 will produce MON-0585.
To state:
Starting from benzene how MON-0585 can be synthesized.
