Organic Chemistry
When tert-pentylbenzene is converted to a phenol through the benzyne mechanism, two products are formed. Construct a sequence of steps involving a diazonium ion such that only one of the products is produced.
Synthesize the following compound using toluene and naphthol as the starting reagents. (Hint: Identify the substituents and the order in which they can be added to each reactant.)
Draw the structure of the diazonium ion and the activated benzene ring used in the synthesis of the following compound.
