Give reagents suitable for carrying out each of the following reactions, and write the major organic products. If an ortho, para mixture is expected, show both. If the Meta isomer is the expected major product, write only that isomer.
(a) Nitration of benzene
(b) Nitration of the product of part (a)
(c) Bromination of toluene
(d) Bromination of (trifluoromethyl) benzene
(e) Sulfonation of anisole
(f) Sulfonation of acetanilide (C6H5NHCCH3)
(g) Chlorination of bromobenzene
(h) Friedel–Crafts alkylation of anisole with benzyl chloride
(i) Friedel–Crafts acylations of benzene with benzoyl chloride
(j) Nitration of the product from part (i)
(k) Clemmensen reduction of the product from part (i)
(l) Wolff–Kishner reduction of the product from part (i)
