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
