Hi everybody,
Can anyone please help me to solve either of the problems below:
1)can aldehyde being protected by (OH)C2H4(OH) be attacked by DRY HCl?
2)would the OH group in benzyl alcohol be halogenated when it is bubbled
with dry HCl.(I am trying to avoid it)
3)would the benzyl alcohol in the presence of anhydrous AlCl3 undergo
Friedel craft alkylation?
4)can benzaldehyde be chloromethylated? (if yes, under what condition?
Since the benzene ring has such a strong electron withdrawing group)

Well, hope that you can help me with these problems.Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Barnabas
