Starting with benzene as your only source of aromatic compounds, how would you synthesize the following substances? Assume that you can separate ortho and para isomers if necessary. (a) $p$ -Chloroacetophenone (b) $m$ -Bromonitrobenzene (c) o-Bromobenzenesulfonic acid (d) $m$ -Chlorobenzenesulfonic acid
Rank the compounds in each group according to their reactivity toward electrophilic substitution. (a) Chlorobenzene, $o$ -dichlorobenzene, benzene (b) $p$ -Bromonitrobenzene, nitrobenzene, phenol (c) Fluorobenzene, benzaldehyde, $o$ -xylene (d) Benzonitrile, $p$ -methylbenzonitrile, $p$ -methoxybenzonitrile
