The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the Friedel-Crafts reaction of benzene with n-butyl chloride at 0°C, we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants:** The reactants in this reaction are benzene (C6H6) and n-butyl chloride (C4H9Cl). 2. **Understand the Friedel-Crafts Alkylation:** The Friedel-Crafts reaction involves the alkylation of an aromatic ring. In this case, n-butyl chloride will react with aluminum chloride (AlCl3) to generate a carbocation. 3. **Formation of the Carbocation:** When n-butyl chloride reacts with AlCl3, it forms a butyl carbocation (C4H9^+). The reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{C4H9Cl} + \text{AlCl3} \rightarrow \text{C4H9}^+ + \text{AlCl4}^- \] 4. **Consider Carbocation Rearrangement:** The butyl carbocation is a primary carbocation, which is less stable. To achieve greater stability, a hydride shift occurs, converting the primary butyl carbocation into a more stable secondary carbocation (isobutyl carbocation). 5. **Reaction with Benzene:** The isobutyl carbocation then reacts with benzene. The electrophilic aromatic substitution occurs where the carbocation attacks the benzene ring, leading to the formation of an alkyl-substituted benzene. 6. **Formation of the Product:** The product formed from this reaction is isobutylbenzene (or 1-phenyl-2-methylpropane). The reaction can be summarized as: \[ \text{C6H6} + \text{C4H9}^+ \rightarrow \text{C6H5C4H9} + \text{HCl} \] 7. **Final Product:** The final product of the Friedel-Crafts reaction of benzene with n-butyl chloride at 0°C is isobutylbenzene. ### Final Answer: The product of the Friedel-Crafts reaction of benzene with n-butyl chloride at 0°C is **isobutylbenzene**. ---
