Answer :
The most reactive substance containing an acyl group is an acyl chloride (also known as an acid chloride). These have the general formula RCOCl. Benzene is treated with a mixture of ethanoyl chloride, CH3COCl, and aluminium chloride as the catalyst. A ketone called phenylethanone is formed.
