Which of the following would not give \(2-\) phenylbutane as the major product in a Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction ?

  1. A \(1-\) butene \(+ HF\)
  2. B \(2-\) butanol \(+ H_2SO_4\)
  3. C Butanoyl chloride \(+ AlCl_3\) then \(Zn, HCl\)
  4. D Butyl choloride \(+ AlCl_3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Butanoyl chloride \(+ AlCl_3\) then \(Zn, HCl\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The fridal - crafts alkylation reaction will give propyl phenyl ketone which further on clemmenson's reduction will give butyl benzene \({C_6}{H_6}\, + \,C{H_3}C{H_2}C{H_2}COCl\,\xrightarrow{{AlC{l_3}}}\) \({C_6}{H_5}COC{H_2}C{H_2}C{H_3}\,\xrightarrow{{Zn - Hg\,/\,HCl}}\)…
