JEE Advance - Chemistry (2017 - Paper 2 Offline - No. 3)
The product $$S$$ is




Explanation
(i) Compound P reacts with $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{MgBr}$ in excess in $\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5\right)_2 \mathrm{O}$ followed by addition of water to form alcohol derivative of the compound.

(ii) Compound $Q$ undergoes dehydration in presence of $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4$ at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$.

(iii) Compound $R$ undergoes acylation of aromatic ring in presence of
and anhydrous $\mathrm{AlCl}_3$.

The substitution should take place at ortho or para position but due to steric crowding at ortho and occupancy of para position. Meta position is substituted with acetyl group.
