1. When benzene is treated with Br2 In presence of ferric bromide (brominating agent) they form bromobenzene. When bromobenzene is treated with Mg in ether it will form Grignard reagent, and if the CO2 is treated with Grignard reagent (in acidic condition) it will form benzoic acid. After esterification reaction in presence of methanol it will form methyl benzoate.
