Question

Which alkane do you suggest for preparation of toluene(C7H8)?

Answer 1

Methane could be used used for preparation of toluene but not directly.

First, methane is reacted with chlorine to give chloromethane and that chloromethane is reacted with AlCl3 to form CH3+ and AlCl4- .

This is reacted with Benzene(C6H6).

This yields toluene as CH3+ replaces a hydrogen from Benzene.
