The reaction of compound P with CH3MgBr(excess) in (C2H5)2O followed by addition of H2O gives Q. The compound Q on treatment with H2SO4 at 0oC gives, R. The reaction of R with CH3COCl in the pressure anhydrous AlCl3 in CH2Cl2 followed by treatment with H2O produces compound S. [Et in compound P is ethyl group] (2017)

The reaction, Q to R and R to S, are
  1. Dehydration and Friedel-Crafts acylation
  2. Aromatic sulfonation and Friedel-Crafts acylation
  3. Friedel-Crafts alkalation, dehydration and Friedel-Crafts acylation
  4. Friedel-Crafts alkalation and Friedel-Crafts acylation

Answer
