Q. What will be the stable or major product when benzene ( $C_{6}H_{6}$ ) reacts with isobutyl chloride $\left[C \left(\left(CH\right)_{3}\right)_{3} Cl\right]$ in the presence of anhydrous $AlCl_{3}$ ?

Solution:

Solution
Isobutyl carbocation $\begin{bmatrix} \left(CH\right)_{3} \\ \left(CH\right)_{2}-CH-\left(CH\right)_{2} \end{bmatrix}$ will get rearranged to a more stable cation I.e., t-butyl cation.
