  1. A Heating at \(773 \mathrm{~K}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Mo}_2 \mathrm{O}_3, 773 \mathrm{~K}, 10-20 \mathrm{~atm}\)
  3. C Anhyd. \(\mathrm{AlCl}_3\), conc. \(\mathrm{HCl}, \Delta\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Cu}, 523 \mathrm{~K}, 100 \mathrm{~atm}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{Mo}_2 \mathrm{O}_3, 773 \mathrm{~K}, 10-20 \mathrm{~atm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Alkane with six or more C-atoms, when heated under pressure in the presence of a catalyst \(\mathrm{Mo}_2 \mathrm{O}_3\) at \(773 \mathrm{~K}\) at \(10-20 \mathrm{~atm}\). First cyclise and then aromatise to give benzene.
