Question

When benzene is treated with methyl chloride in presence of anhydorus aluminuim chloride?

Answer 1

CH3Cl reacts with AlCl3 to give (CH3)+ and (AlCl4)-. AlCl3 acts as a Lewis base and CH3Cl acts as a Lewis acid. The

The (CH3)+ generated will then act as an electrophile to substitute a H on benzene. The product is methylbenzene together with HCl as a side product.

This is an electrophilic substitution type reaction.

Answer 2

Answer:

when benzene is treated with an alkyl halide in the presence of anhydrous aluminium chloride it gives alkylbenzene. In this reaction hydrogen atom of benzene is replaced by an alkyl group. The reaction is called as Friedel-Craft's alkylation reaction. In this reaction alkyl groups are electrophiles and role of aluminium chloride is to generate these electrophiles. In the given reaction Benzene reacts with methyl chloride to give methylbenzene or toluene
