Using anhydrous AlCl3 as catalyst, which one of the following reactions produces ethylbenzene (PhEt)?

Answer 1

CH2=CH2 + C6H6 gives you ethylbenzene

Answer 2

Using anhydrous AlCl3 as catalyst, H2C = CH2 + C6H6 of the following reactions produces ethylbenzene (PhEt).

Ethylbenzene is considered as the organic compound that has the formula C6H5CH2CH3.
