Which of the following reactions will give benzophenone as major product? (A) Benzoyl chloride + Benzene + AlCl 3 (anhyd.) (B) Benzoyl chloride + Phenylmagnesium bromide (excess) (C) Benzoyl chloride + Diphenyl cadmium
Options
- AA and B only
- BB and C only
- CA and C only
- DA,B and C
Correct answer
C. A and C only
Step-by-step solution
Reaction A involves electrophilic substitution reaction between benzene and benzoyl chloride in presence of anhydrous AlCl 3 to from benzophenone. This reaction is named as friedel crafts acylation . Reaction B involves reaction of bezoyl chloride with phenyl magnesium bromide followed by hydrolysis.Here the product formed is triphenyl methanol. Reaction C involves reaction of benzoyl chloride with diphenyl cadmium to form benzophenone. Diphenyl cadmium is obtained by the reaction of cadmium chloride with phenyl ma
