Question

From the list of available reagents, show how you would bring about this synthesis. Enter the letters of the reagents necessary, with no commas or spaces, in the order that they are to be used. If a step is to be performed more than once in succession, enter its letter only once. For example: acega, not acegga

Answer 1

The reagents -
`a)HNO_(3),H_(2)SO_(4)\,\,b)H_(2),Pd,C\,\,c)CH_(3)COCl`

Step-by-step explanation:

`-COCH_(3)` is an electron donating group which directs the electrophile to meta position reduction of nitro group with
`H_(2),Pd,C` produces amine.

Acylation of amine with
`CH_(3)COCl` produces required product.

The complete reaction is as follows.
