The correct Answer is:
The reaction given is: \[ C_6H_6 + CH_3Cl \overset{AlCl_3}{\longrightarrow} C_6H_5CH_3 + HCl \] To identify the name of this reaction, we can analyze the components and the process involved. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants**: - The reactants are benzene (\(C_6H_6\)) and methyl chloride (\(CH_3Cl\)). **Hint**: Look for the type of hydrocarbons involved in the reaction. 2. **Identify the Catalyst**: - The catalyst used in this reaction is aluminum chloride (\(AlCl_3\)). This compound acts as a Lewis acid, which means it can accept electron pairs. **Hint**: Consider the role of \(AlCl_3\) in facilitating the reaction. 3. **Reaction Mechanism**: - In the presence of \(AlCl_3\), \(CH_3Cl\) forms a methyl cation (\(CH_3^+\)) after the chloride ion (\(Cl^-\)) is removed. The \(AlCl_3\) combines with the chloride ion to form \(AlCl_4^-\). - The benzene ring, which is electron-rich, acts as a nucleophile and attacks the methyl cation, leading to the formation of toluene (\(C_6H_5CH_3\)). **Hint**: Think about how nucleophiles and electrophiles interact in organic reactions. 4. **Formation of Products**: - The product formed is toluene (\(C_6H_5CH_3\)), and hydrochloric acid (\(HCl\)) is released as a byproduct. **Hint**: Identify the products formed and check if they correspond to known compounds. 5. **Naming the Reaction**: - This type of reaction, where an alkyl group is introduced into an aromatic ring, is known as the Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction. **Hint**: Recall the names of common reactions involving aromatic compounds and alkyl halides. ### Final Answer: The reaction is known as the **Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction**.

The reaction given is: \[ C_6H_6 + CH_3Cl \overset{AlCl_3}{\longrightarrow} C_6H_5CH_3 + HCl \] To identify the name of this reaction, we can analyze the components and the process involved. ### Step-by-Step Solution: ...
