Practice Problem: Four-Reaction Pathway

The video tutorial explains a sequence of reactions starting with benzene. It covers electrophilic aromatic substitution to brominate benzene, the formation of a Grignard reagent using magnesium, and the reaction of this reagent with CO2 to produce benzoic acid. Finally, it discusses the reduction of benzoic acid to a primary alcohol using lithium aluminum hydride.

What is the first reaction that involves benzene and bromine, and what type of reaction is it?
