Question

Benzene treated with neopentyl chloride and alcl3

Answer 1

or

When benzene reacts with neopentyl chloride,(CH3)3CH2Cl, in the presence ofaluminum chloride, the major product is 2-methyl-2-phenylbutane

Answer 2

When benzene ( C$_{6}$H$_{6}$ ) is treated with neopentyl chloride and AlCl$_{3}$ , 2-Methyl-2-phenylbutane is formed .

• Positive charge is more stable on three-degree carbon than one degree carbon.
• In this reaction , the positive charge is shifted from one-degree carbon to three-degree carbon for forming the product.
• The molecular weight of  2-Methyl-2-phenylbutane is 148.245 .
