Name the class of compound formed in acylation of benzene in the above given half reaction.

Hexylbenzene is refluxed with alkaline potassium manganate $\left(\mathrm{VII}\right)$ and then acidified with dilute sulphuric acid. The same experiment is carried out but using hexane and the oxidising agent. Compare what would happen in these experiments.

Give the reagents and conditions needed to convert benzene into cyclohexane.

Which type of reaction classifies the reaction in the reagents and conditions needed to convert benzene into cyclohexane.
