Starting with benzene, toluene, or phenol as the only sources of aromatic rings, show how to synthesize the following. Assume in all syntheses that mixtures of ortho-para products can be separated into the desired isomer. Q.) m-Chlorobenzoic acid
Organomagnesium compounds
The interaction of alkyl halide with Mg metal in a suitable ether solvent is the common method for the synthesis of the Grignard reagent.
Hydrolysis Grignard Reactions and Reduction
Organomagnesium halides are Grignard reagents. Francois Auguste Victor Grignard, a French chemist who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1912, created these highly useful reagents.
Starting with benzene, toluene, or phenol as the only sources of
Q.) m-Chlorobenzoic acid
The synthesis of m-Chlorobenzoic acid can be done with toluene. First reaction is of oxidation of toluene at benzylic position.
