What would be the major product of the following reaction?
Correct answer: B. Option B
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation
The given reaction is Friedel Craft Acylation. Given C2H5OCl in the presence of AlCl3 leads to the addition of C2H5O to the benzene ring. Since, CH3 is an ortho-para directing group. It leads to the addition of substances at ortho-para positions, which are (2,4) positions. So there is an addition of C2H5O at either of ortho or para position.

About Aldehydes and Ketones
Aldehydes and ketones contain the polar carbonyl group, but aldehydes are generally more readily oxidised and more reactive than ketones. Coverage includes preparation by oxidation or reduction routes, nucleophilic addition of reagents such as hydrogen cyanide and bisulfite, and tests that distinguish aldehydes from ketones.
