Question

Conversion of benzene to acetophenone can be brought by (A) Wurtz reaction (B) Wurtz-Fittig's reaction (C) Friedel Crafts alkylation (D) Friedel Crafts acylation

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Benzene on treatment with a carboxylic acid chloride or anhydride in the presence of anhydrous AlCl 3 forms aliphatic-aromatic ketones. The reaction is known as Friedel-Crafts acylation. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/cae5863237f01d40b2d5e7cac19b455e-.png" />
