Propose, how to obtain the following compounds, starting from benzene, and using a sequence of electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions (be careful about directing effect of substituents).
m- bromoacetophenone, 3-bromo-4-tert butyl nitrobenzene
1)
Benzene + CH3COCOCH3 +AlCl3 > CH3COC6H5 > m-Bromoacetophenone
acetobenzene ( +Br2 )
2) Benzene > Bromobenzene
(Bromination by taking FeBr3 + AlCl3)
Bromobenzrene + HNO3 + H2SO4 > o-nitro bromo benzene
o-nitro bromobenzene + tert butyl chlorede + Alcl3 > 3-bromo-4-tert butyl nitrobenzene
