Which of the following can be used as the halide component for Friedel-Crafts reaction?

Answer»

Chlorobenzene
Bromobenzene
Chloroethene
Isopropyl chloride

Solution :ARYL halides (i.e., chlorobenzene and bromobenzene) and vinyl halides (i.e., chloroethane) being LESS REACTIVE (than alkyl halides) do not react with benzene to GIVE the corresponding substitution products. Therefore, only isopropyl chloride can be used as the halide component in F.C. reactions.
