Benzene+HCL+Oxygen→benzyl chloride+water
catalyst:FeCl3+CuCl2

Answer 2

Conversion of benzene to Benzyl chloride

• The compound given for conversion is benzene. Its molecular formula is $C_6H_5$ and it is an arene.
• On the other hand, the product required is benzyl chloride. Its molecular formula is $C_6H_5CH_2Cl$.
• To convert benzene to benzyl chloride, the following two processes are applied:

1. Fielded-crafts alkylation reaction.
2. Halogenation

• Accordingly, when benzene is reacted with alkyl halide in the presence of compound such as $AlCl_3$ which is a Lewis acid, it gets converted into methyl benzene.
• When this product is halogenated in the presence of sunlight, it yields benzyl chloride.
• The chemical equation involved in the reaction is given in the attachment.
