The correct Answer is:
To determine the name of the reaction given by the equation: \[ C_6H_6 + CH_3Cl \overset{(AlCl_3)}{\rightarrow} C_6H_5CH_3 + HCl \] 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 (\(CH_3Cl\)). - Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon, and methyl chloride is an alkyl halide. **Hint**: Look for the types of compounds involved in the reaction. 2. **Identify the Catalyst**: - The reaction uses anhydrous aluminum chloride (\(AlCl_3\)) as a catalyst. - This catalyst is commonly used in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. **Hint**: Recognize the role of the catalyst in facilitating the reaction. 3. **Understand the Reaction Mechanism**: - In this reaction, the methyl group from methyl chloride replaces one hydrogen atom on the benzene ring. - This is a typical characteristic of alkylation reactions where an alkyl group is introduced to an aromatic compound. **Hint**: Consider what happens to the benzene ring during the reaction. 4. **Identify the Product**: - The product formed is toluene (\(C_6H_5CH_3\)) and hydrochloric acid (\(HCl\)). - The formation of toluene indicates that an alkyl group has been added to the benzene. **Hint**: Look at the products to confirm the type of reaction taking place. 5. **Name the Reaction**: - This reaction is known as **Friedel-Crafts Alkylation**. - It is a specific type of Friedel-Crafts reaction where an alkyl group is introduced to an aromatic ring. **Hint**: Recall the name of the reaction that involves the alkylation of aromatic compounds. ### Final Answer: The following reaction is known as **Friedel-Crafts Alkylation**.
