Question

Benzyl chloride can be prepared from chlorine by chlorination with

A(So2cl2)
B(socl2)
C(cl2)
D(Naocl)​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Toluene, which is also known as toluol, is an aromatic hydrocarbon.

$\implies{\bigstar{\mathsf{}}}$ It is a mono-substituted benzene derivative.

$\implies{\bigstar{\mathsf{Toluene}}}$ when on treatment with cl2 in the presence of heat or the light undergoes the free radical chlorination at benzylic position that is the deposition adjacent to the Ortho-position giving the benzyl chloride.

$\boxed{\mathsf{CH_3C_6H_6 + Cl_2 \xrightarrow{\delta \: or\: heat\: ,hv} Ch_2ClC_6H_6 + HCL}}$
