Question

Describe the side chai chlorination toluene​

Answer 1

Answer:

we can convert toluene to benzaldehyde using side chain chlorination in presence of light, followed by hydrolysis.

Is it possible to use the same method to convert a substituted toluene?

An example would be to convert p-fluorotoluene to p-fluorobenzaldehyde.

Answer 2

$\boxed{\colorbox{lime}{Answer}}$

In order to improve the selectivity and the yield of product, shorten the reaction time, a new photosensitive catalyst BMMB with high reactive activity, stability of storage and non-corrosiveness has been used for the side-chain chlorination of toluene to produce benzotrichloride.
