Options

A. `C_(6)H_(5)COCloverset(Pd//BaSO_(4))rarr`
B. `C_(6)H_(6)overset(Cl_(2)//FeCl_(3))rarr`
C. `C_(6)H_(6)overset(CH_(3)Cl//"Anhy".AlCl_(3))rarr`
D. `C_(2)H_(5)OHoverset("conc."H_(2)SO_(4))rarr`

Answer

C

Explanation

Product of reaction given option (C ), is as
`-CH_(3)` group in toluene, activate the benzene nucleus towards electrophilic substitution due to its electron releasing nature.
