Which of the following would not give 2-phenylbutane as the major product in a Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction ?
Options
- A1-butene + HF
- B2-butanol + H ₂ SO ₄
- CButanoyl chloride + AlCl ₃ then Zn , HCl
- DButyl choloride + AlCl ₃
Correct answer
C. Butanoyl chloride + AlCl ₃ then Zn , HCl
Step-by-step solution
The Friedal-crafts alkylation reaction will give propyl phenyl ketone which further on Clemmenson's reduction will give butyl benzene
