Identify the major products P, Q and R in the following sequence of reactions:













To solve this problem, we need to identify the major products P, Q, and R in the given reaction sequence.The sequence involves:1. Friedel-Crafts Alkylation:• Benzene reacts with in the presence of anhydrous • This is a Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction, where the propyl group is added to the benzene ring.• The product P is propylbenzene.2. Oxidation of Alkylbenzene:• Propylbenzene undergoes oxidation with and • The side chain is oxidized to a carboxylic acid, resulting in benzoic acid (Q).• The remaining part of the side chain is oxidized to acetone (R).Analyzing the options:• Option 1: Incorrect products.• Option 2: Incorrect products.• Option 3: Incorrect products.• Option 4: Correct products.Therefore, the correct option is Option 4.P: Propylbenzene Q: Benzoic acid R: Acetone
