Question- Acid chlorides are used extensively as electrophiles in the Friedel-Crafts reaction to prepare aromatic ketones. The reaction involves the treatment of an aromatic hydrocarbon with an acyl chloride in the presence of a Lewis acid, such as aluminum chloride. Using this reaction, outline the reaction sequence you would use to prepare benzophenone using benzoic acid and benzene as the starting organic compounds. Hint: Think about the Friedel-Crafts acylation with ferrocene.
