Assertion (A) Toluene on Friedal Crafts ...

Assertion (A) Toluene on Friedal Crafts methylation gives o - and p-xylene.
Reason ( R) `CH_(3)`-group bonded to benzene ring increases density at o - and p- position.

A

If both assertion and reason are correct and reason is correct explanation for assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.

C

If assertion is correct but reason is incorrect.

D

If assertion and reason are both incorrect.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
(c) Correct explanation. Irrespective of the length of the alkyl side chain, oxidation occurs at more reactive benzylic car bon atom leading to the formation of benzoic acid.
