Step 1
Let's assume that "c" and "d" are specific compounds that you have in mind but haven't specified in the question. I'll create hypothetical compounds for the purpose of this example. For compound c, let's assume you want to synthesize m-bromotoluene Show more…

Devise three different methods to prepare each compound from benzene: (a) C$_6$H$_5$CH$_2$CH$_2$OH (2-phenylethanol); (b) C$_6$H$_5$COCH$_3$ (acetophenone). You may also use organic compounds that have one or two carbons, and any required inorganic reagents. At least two of the three methods must use a reaction of the organometallic reagents described in this chapter.
