Chapter 21, Problem 21.43P
Following is an equation for iodination of toluene.
This reaction does not take place. All that happens under experimental conditions for the formation of radicals is initiation to form iodine radicals, I , followed by termination to reform I2. How do you account for these observations?

The oxidation of an aldehyde is commonly carried out using potassium permanganate or potassium dichromate. In fact, the carbon alpha to a benzene ring is very reactive, hence it is possible to oxidize an alkyl benzene compound at the alpha position. Give the equation for the reaction of toluene to benzoic acid using potassium permanganate.
1. Aromatic compounds are metabolized via transformation of the aromatic ring to a
reactive metabolite, arene oxide. Suggest two possible reactions of this metabolite and
provide the products of those reactions
