Question

\(C_6H_6+CH_3Cl \xrightarrow [AlCl_3]{anhydrous}C_6H_5CH_3+HCl\) is an example of 

(a) Friedel-Craft's reaction 

(b) Kolbe's synthesis 

(c) Wurtz reaction 

(d) Grignard reaction

Answer 1

(a) Friedel-Craft's reaction 

The Friedel Craft Reaction involves the addition of an alkyl group onto a given hydrocarbon. The hydrocarbon reacts with an alkyl halide R-X (R is the alkyl group to be added), which in this case is benzene reacting with Methylchloride.
