An attempt to prepare 1-(3-nitrophenyl)butan-1-one from nitrobenzene, butanoic acid chloride and AlCl3 would fail. Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation reactions won't work because of the deactivating nitro group present on the benzene ring. Propose an alternate pathway to the ketone product desired. Would the proposed reaction mechanism result in ortho and para substituted products along with the desired meta form?
