Question

In Friedal-Craft's alkylation besides $AlC{l}_3$ the other reactants are

• A. $C_6{H}_6+N{H}_3$
• B. $C_6{H}_6+C{H}_4$
• C. $C_6{H}_6+C{H}_{3}Cl$
• D. $C_6{H}_6+C{H}_{3}COCl$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

(c) Friedel-Craft's alkylation When benzene reacts with alkyl halide in presence of anhy. $AlC{l}_3$, toluene is obtained. It is called Friedel-Craft's alkylation. Friedel-Craft's reaction is type of electrophilic substitution.
$C_6{H}_6+C{H}_{3}Cl\stackrel{\text{ Anhy. }AlC{l}_3}{\to }\underset{\text{Toluene}}{C_6{H}_{5}C{H}_3}+HCl$
