as a catalyst.
plz make my answer brainlist and follow me thank me.
Answer:
Anisole on reaction with chloromethane in presence of anhydrous AlCl3 gives o-methyl anisole and p-methyl anisole
Explanation:
Anisole reacts with acetyl chloride in the presence of anhydrous aluminium chloride as catalyst to form 2-methoxy acetophenone and 4-methoxy acetophenone. The reaction is Friedel Craft's acylation reaction (an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction).
Anisole undergoes Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction with an alkyl halide in presence of Lewis acid AlCl3 as a catalyst.
In this reaction hydrogen atom of benzene is replaced by an alkyl group. The reaction is called as Friedel-Craft's alkylation reaction. ... In the given reaction Benzene reacts with methyl chloride to give methylbenzene or toluene.
