Question

The reaction of compound P with CH3MgBr(excess) in (C2H5)2O followed by addition of H2O gives Q. The
compound Q on treatment with H2SO4 at 0oC gives R. The reaction of R with CH3COCl in the presence of
anhydrous AlCl3 in CH2Cl2 followed by treatment with H2O produces compound S [Et in compound P is ethyl group]
The reactions, Q to R and R to S, are
[A] Dehydration and Friedel-Crafts acylation
[B] Aromatic sulfonation and Friedel-Crafts acylation
[C] Friedel-Crafts alkylation, dehydration and Friedel-Crafts acylation
[D] Friedel-Crafts alkylation and Friedel-Crafts acylation
