Question 1

Benzene reacts with propanoyl chloride (CH3CH2COCl\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{COCl}CH3​CH2​COCl) in the presence of a catalyst.

a.

Give an equation for the overall reaction when benzene reacts with propanoyl chloride. Name the organic product.

[2]
b.

Identify the catalyst needed in this reaction. Give an equation to show how the catalyst is used to form the electrophile, [CH3CH2CO]+[\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CO}]^+[CH3​CH2​CO]+.

[2]
c.

Outline the mechanism for the reaction of benzene with the electrophile, [CH3CH2CO]+[\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CO}]^+[CH3​CH2​CO]+.
