To solve the given sequence of reactions, we need to identify the appropriate reagents for each step. Let's break down the transformations step by step. ### Step 1: CH₄ to CH₃Br - **Reagent A**: To convert methane (CH₄) to bromoethane (CH₃Br), we can use bromine (Br₂) in the presence of ultraviolet light (hv). This reaction proceeds via a free radical mechanism where bromine radicals abstract a hydrogen atom from methane, resulting in the formation of CH₃Br. **Reagent A**: Br₂ (in the presence of light) ### Step 2: CH₃Br to C₆H₅CH₃ (Toluene) ...
