(b) Out of benzene and toluene, which will under go alkylation fast and why ???<br />class 11th chemistry ​

Answer 1

Hi there !

Here's the answer.

Out of Benzene and Toulene , Toluene would undergo alkylation faster because it is more reactive than benzene in case of electrophilic substituting on aromatic ring.

Moreover benzene is highly stabilised molecule due to more aromatic character.

Hope it helped.
