1. Fill in the steps to complete the following synthesis. You may need more than one reaction to complete each transformation.
a. Benzene -> meta-ethylnitrobenzene Steps:
b. Meta-ethylnitrobenzene -> meta-bromoethylbenzene Steps:
2. Draw products A through E for the following series of reactions. If both ortho and para product would form, continue on only with the para product, but mention that ortho would also be a product.
Chlorobenzene + HNO3/H2SO4 -> Product A
Product A + OH-, heat -> Product B
Product B + Sn, HCl, followed by hydroxide -> Product C
Product C + NaNO2/HCl, zero degrees celcius -> Product D
Product D + HBF4 -> Product E
