Friedel-Craft's reaction gives?
Correct answer: C. Toluene
- A. Benzene
- B. Nitrobenzene
- C. Toluene
- D. Alkene
Explanation
The Friedel-Crafts reaction is a type of electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction that involves the alkylation or acylation of aromatic compounds.In the case of the alkylation of benzene, the reaction uses an alkyl halide (like CH_3 Cl) and a Lewis acid catalyst (like AlCl_3 ) to introduce an alkyl group onto the benzene ring. The product of this reaction is toluene.
