Question

how does anisole react with methyl chloride​

Answer 1

${\tt{\red{\underline{\underline{\huge{Answer:}}}}}}$

CH3Cl/anhydrous AlCl3 is called methyl chloride in the presence of anhydrous aluminium chloride. It is converted into methyl cation and chloride anion. So, when anisole is reacted with CH3Cl/anhydrous AlCl3, there is a substitution of a methyl group at ortho and para position of the benzene.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Answer :

The chemical reaction of anisole follows the Electrophilic substitution reaction procedure. CH3Cl/anhydrous AlCl3 is called methyl chloride in the presence of anhydrous aluminium chloride. It is converted into methyl cation and chloride anion. In this methyl cation is the electrophile.
