What is required other than anhydrous AICI3 when toluene is prepared by Friedal craft reaction
Correct answer: A. C6H6 + CH3Cl
- A. C6H6 + CH3Cl
- B. C6H6
- C. C6H5C2H5
- D. C6H5Cl & CH3Cl
Explanation
In the Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction to prepare toluene, anhydrous aluminum chloride (AlCl3) acts as a catalyst. The correct option includes the reactants benzene (C6H6) and methyl chloride (CH3Cl) required for this reaction. The other options either represent incorrect reactants or different products that can be formed through alternative reactions.

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.
