Options
- AC 6 H 5 - CH 3
Correct answer
3
Step-by-step solution
C 6 H 14 Hexane → 773   K 10 - 20   atm Cr 2 O 3 C 6 H 6 Benzene → Anhydrous   AlCl 3 CH 3 COCl C 6 H 5 COCH 3 Acetophenone When benzene reacts with CH 3 COCl in the presence of AlCl 3 , Acetophenone will form. This is an electrophilic substitution reaction. It is named as Friedel Craft's acylation reaction.
