INCORRECT!

Type of reaction

This is a Friedel-Crafts acylation, which is a type of electrophilic aromatic substitution that occurs on aromatic rings that are not strongly deactivated.

Position of attack

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

The methyl group directs the attack ortho/para, so this product (from meta attack) is substituted at the wrong position.

Position of C=O

The product of acylation has the carbonyl C=O located correctly, next to the ring. This is because this group becomes the electrophile that attacks the ring.
