All of the following statements are correct EXCEPT:
Correct answer: D. Ozonolysis of benzene results in the formation of (COOH)2
- A. Introduction of R-group in the benzene ring in the presence of AlCl3 is called alkylation
- B. Introduction of acyl group in the benzene ring in the presence of AlCl3 is called acylation
- C. Benzene cannot undergo polymerization
- D. Ozonolysis of benzene results in the formation of (COOH)2
Explanation
The correct answer is option D. Ozonolysis of benzene does not result in the formation of (COOH)2, but rather produces glyoxal as the ultimate product. The other options are incorrect because they describe valid reactions or properties of benzene.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
