AI Generated Solution

To convert benzene into m-Nitrobenzoic acid, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Friedel-Crafts Alkylation 1. **Reagents**: Use methyl chloride (CH₃Cl) and aluminum chloride (AlCl₃). 2. **Reaction**: The aluminum chloride acts as a Lewis acid and forms a methyl cation (CH₃⁺) from methyl chloride. This cation can then react with benzene. 3. **Product**: The product of this reaction is toluene (methylbenzene). ### Step 2: Oxidation to Benzoic Acid ...
