Here's the solution to the organic reaction scheme:

Step 1: Analyze the starting material and initial reactions.
The starting material is C7H8, which is toluene (methylbenzene).

  • C7H8 (Toluene)
    • Reaction with reagent 1 (Cl2\text{Cl}_2, UV light) leads to side-chain halogenation.
      • A: Benzyl chloride (C6H5CH2Cl\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CH}_2\text{Cl})
    • Reaction with reagent 2 (HNO3/H2SO4\text{HNO}_3/\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4) leads to nitration of the benzene ring. Toluene is an ortho/para director
