Which of the following is produced by the action of CH3CI on benzene in presence of AICI3 followed by oxidation in the presence of acidified KMnO4 give
Correct answer: D. Benzoic acid
- A. Toluene
- B. o-Xylene
- C. m-Xylene
- D. Benzoic acid
Explanation
When CH3Cl reacts with benzene in the presence of AlCl3, it forms toluene. Toluene, upon oxidation with acidified KMnO4, gives benzoic acid. Therefore, the correct answer is Benzoic acid. The other options, toluene, o-xylene, and m-xylene, are not the products of the specific reaction sequence described in the question.

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.
