Benzyl chloride (C6 H5 CH2 Cl) can be prepared from toluene by chlorination with (A) SO2 Cl2 (B) SOCl2 (C) Cl2 (D) NaOCl

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

SOCl 2, SO 2 Cl 2 both give chlorination by nucleophilic substitution on an electrophilic carbon. In toulene, there is no electrophilic centre oxidation occur by controlled free radical reaction using Cl 2 in presence of high.
