The Friedel-Crafts reaction using MeCl and anhydrous `AlCl_3` may be carried out best with-

A

benzene

B

nitrobenzene

C

toluene

D

acetophenone

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Due to its +I and hyperconjugative effect, `-CH_(3)`group increases the electron density of the benzene ring. Thus, toluene becomes more susceptible towards electrophilic substitution reaction. So, Friedel-Crafts reaction using MeCl and anhydrous `AlCl_(3)` is carried out best with toluene.
