• B. $C_6H_6 + CH_4$
• C. $C_6H_6 + CH_3Cl$
• D. $C_6H_6 + CH_3COCl$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$C_6H_6 + CH_3Cl$

Answer 2

Friedel-Craft's alkylation When benzene reacts with alkyl halide in presence of anhy. $A1C1_3$, toluene is obtained. It is called Friedel-Craft's alkylation. Friedel-Craft's reaction is type of electrophilic substitution. $C_6 H_6 + CH_3 Cl \xrightarrow{Anhy.AlCl_3} C_6 H_5 CH_3 +HCl$ \hspace55mm _{}^{Toluene}
