Benzene undergoes both Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation reactions, with long n-alkyl chains, often rearranged products are obtained. Therefore, to prepare benzene derivatives with n-alkylchains either Friedel-Crafts acylation or some other suitable method is employed. Using anhydrous AiCl, as catalyst, which one of the following reactions produces ethylbenzene(PhEt)?

1.	Benzene undergoes both Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation reactions, with long n-alkyl chains, often rearranged products are obtained. Therefore, to prepare benzene derivatives with n-alkylchains either Friedel-Crafts acylation or some other suitable method is employed. Using anhydrous AiCl, as catalyst, which one of the following reactions produces ethylbenzene(PhEt)?
Answer» `CH_3CH_2 OH + C_6H_6` `CH_3CH = CH_2 + C_6H_6` `H_2C = CHCl + C_6H_6` `CH_3 - CH_3 + C_6H_6` SOLUTION :FRIEDEL CRAFT alkylation
