Answer 1

chemical properties of benzene
Electrophilic aromatic substitution is a general method of derivatizing benzene. Benzene is sufficiently nucleophilic that it undergoes substitution by acylium ions or alkyl carbocations to afford give substituted derivatives.

The Friedel-Crafts acylation is a specific example of electrophilic aromatic substitution. The reaction involves the acylation of benzene (or many other aromatic rings) with an acyl chloride using a strong Lewis acid catalyst such as aluminium chloride..

Like the Friedel-Crafts acylation, the Friedel-Crafts alkylation involves the alkylation of benzene (and many other aromatic rings) usng an alkyl halide in the presence of a strong Lewis acid catalyst.

sulfonation.
Nitration: Benzene undergoes nitration with nitronioum ions (NO2+) as the electrophile. Thus, warming benzene with a combination of concentrated sulphuric and nitric acid gives nitrobenzene.
Hydrogenation: Benzene and derivatives convert to cyclohexane and derivatives when treated with hydrogen at high hydrogen pressures.
Benzene is an excellent ligand in the organometallic chemistry of low-valent metals. Important examples include the sandwich and half-sandwich complexes respectively Cr(C6H6)2 and [RuCl2(C6H6)]2

Answer 3

I am sure that you could look this up just as easily as ask the question on this forum. Benzene does little else than burn (and even then it produces a heck of a lot of soot) with any enthusiasm. But I expect that are expected to discuss electrophilic substitution, so that is the starting point of your search.
