9) Suppose I want to perform a simple substitution reaction, replacing the OH with a Cl in the
following compound. Which of the following reagents works best? Explain (and that means
explain why the wrong answers are wrong as well as why the right answer is right).
Option A: Addition of HBr
Option B: Addition of SOC12/pyridine
Option C: Addition of SOCl2 only

Answer all three parts plz.
You are starting with three aryl bromides. They undergo a typical grignard reaction with magnesium metal and anhydrous ether (diethyl ether). Dry ice is then added to it and it is then cooled. Draw and label the names of the aryl carboxylic acids that will form for each.
Part a) bromobenzene
Part b) para-bromoanisole
Part c) meta-bromoanisole
Q4. Alkyl halides are good at doing substitution (SN2/SN1) and elimination (E1/E2) reactions
because the halide (X-) is a good LG. Alcohols on the other hand are not suitable for these
reactions since hydroxide (¯OH) is a poor LG. However, an OH can be converted into a OTs
(tosyl group) by reacting an alcohol with TsCl in presence of a base. An OTs is a good LG, and
this allows us to indirectly (via OTs) use alcohols in substitution (SN2/SN1) and elimination
(E1/E2) reactions.
