The major products [X] and [Y] formed in the following reactions are
- (a) [X] = Cl ortho to O on the 3,4-dimethylphenyl ring; [Y] = para-nitro benzalacetone
- (b) [X] = Cl ortho to O on the 3,4-dimethylphenyl ring; [Y] = meta-nitro benzalacetone
- (c) [X] = Cl para to O (between the two Me) on the 3,5-dimethylphenyl ring; [Y] = para-nitro benzalacetone
- (d) [X] = Cl para to O (between the two Me) on the 3,5-dimethylphenyl ring; [Y] = meta-nitro benzalacetone
