Friedel-Craft's reaction using MeCl and anhydrous AlCl \(_{3}\) will take place most efficiently with
- A benzene
- B nitrobenzene
- C acetophenone
- D toluene
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) toluene
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Friedel-crafts reaction is an electrophilic substitution reaction and presence of an electron releasing substituent like Me, makes the benzene nucleus more reactive towards such reactions) Thus toluene is most reactive among the given.
