Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

1. Friedel-Crafts Alkylation: reacts with to form a primary carbocation, which undergoes a 1,2-hydride shift to form a more stable secondary carbocation (). This electrophile attacks benzene to form Isopropylbenzene (Cumene, ).2. Cumene Oxidation: Cumene reacts with air () to form Cumene hydroperoxide.3. Acidic Hydrolysis: Cumene hydroperoxide is decomposed by dilute acid to yield Phenol () and Acetone ().
