Consider the following reaction
\(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_6+\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{Br} \xrightarrow[\Delta]{\text { anhyd. } \mathrm{AlCl}_3} \mathrm{X}\)
The major product ' X ' is:
- A Toluene
- B Chlorobenzene
- C Bromobenzene
- D Ethylbenzene
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Ethylbenzene
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The reaction given is a Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction. Benzene (\(\mathrm{C}_6\mathrm{H}_6\)) reacts with ethyl bromide (\(\mathrm{CH}_3\mathrm{CH}_2\mathrm{Br}\)) in the presence of an anhydrous Lewis acid catalyst, \(\mathrm{AlCl}_3\). The mechanism involves the formation…
