Toluene reacts with halogen in presence of iron (III) chloride giving ortho and para halo compounds. The reaction is

Step-by-step solution

The reaction involved is In presence of ( FeCl ₃ ) and in dark, electrophilic substitution on benzene ring by ( Cl ⁺ )at ( o ⁻ )and p- positions occurs to give o- and p-chlorotoluene. Since, methyl group activates the ring at o- and p- positions more than ( m ) - positions the electrophilic substitution occurs at o- and p- positions to greater extent.
