Identify the product formed when the following reaction occurs.
?
- A 2, 4-Dichloroethylbenzene.
- B 1, 2-Dichloro-1-phenylethane.
- C 1, 1-Dichloro-1-phenylethane.
- D 2,3-Dichloroethylbenzene.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) 1, 1-Dichloro-1-phenylethane.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The reaction of ethylbenzene with excess \(Cl_2\) in the presence of \(hv\) (ultraviolet light) is a free radical substitution reaction. The reaction occurs at the benzylic position because the resulting benzylic radical is resonance-stabilized by the benzene ring. The first…
