What is the molecular formula of the product formed when benzene is reacted with ethyl chloride in presence of anhydrous aluminium chloride?

Options

  1. AC ₈ H ₁₀
  2. BC ₆ H ₆
  3. CC ₈ H ₈
  4. DC ₆ H ₅ Cl

Correct answer

A. C ₈ H ₁₀

Step-by-step solution

In presence of a Lewis acid (like AlCl ₃ ), benzene gives electrophilic substitution reaction with alkyl halide. This is called Friedel-Craft alkylation.
