Question

convert butane into Nitro benzene​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Ozonolysis of Benzene in presence of Zn /H20 to give out Glyoxal
2. Reduction of glyoxal to form 1,2-Ethanediol
3. Reaction with HCl with 1,2-Ethanediol to give out 1,2dichloroEthane
4. Reaction of 1,2dichloroEthane with 2 moles of Chloromethane in presence of Zn (Frankland Reaction) will give the following result

Answer 2

Method

Ozonolysis of Benzene in presence of Zn /H20 to give out Glyoxal

Reduction of glyoxal to form 1,2-Ethanediol

Reaction with HCl with 1,2-Ethanediol to give out 1,2dichloroEthane

Reaction of 1,2dichloroEthane with 2 moles of Chloromethane in presence of Zn (Frankland Reaction) will give the following result

Method 2

Reaction of KMnO4(excess) in acetone with Benzene to produce Oxalic Acid

Reducing the Oxalic Acid to Ethanol from LiAlH4 or other strong reducing agent

Reaction with PCl5 to give 1,2dichloroEthane

Reaction with NaCH3 (2 moles) with 1,2dichloroEthane to give out n-butane
