The correct Answer is:
To solve the given reaction of benzene (C₆H₆) with isobutyl chloride ((CH₃)₂CHCH₂Cl) in the presence of anhydrous AlCl₃, we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants**: The reactants are benzene (C₆H₆) and isobutyl chloride ((CH₃)₂CHCH₂Cl). Anhydrous AlCl₃ is used as a catalyst. 2. **Formation of the Carbocation**: When isobutyl chloride reacts with AlCl₃, it forms a carbocation. The chlorine atom leaves, and the isobutyl group forms a carbocation: \[ (CH₃)₂CHCH₂^+ \] This carbocation is a primary carbocation, which can rearrange to form a more stable tertiary carbocation through a hydride shift. 3. **Hydride Shift**: The primary carbocation undergoes a 1,2-hydride shift to form a more stable tertiary carbocation: \[ CH₃C^+(CH₃)₂ \] This is the tertiary carbocation that will react with benzene. 4. **Electrophilic Attack**: The benzene ring, which is rich in electrons, will attack the positively charged tertiary carbocation. This forms a sigma complex (also known as an arenium ion): \[ C₆H₅^+ - C(CH₃)₃ \] 5. **Deprotonation**: The sigma complex loses a proton (H⁺) to restore aromaticity. The proton can be abstracted by the AlCl₄⁻ ion formed during the reaction: \[ C₆H₅C(CH₃)₃ + HCl \] 6. **Final Product**: The final product of this reaction is tertiary butyl benzene, which can be represented as: \[ C₆H₅C(CH₃)₃ \] ### Final Answer: The final product of the reaction is **tertiary butyl benzene**. ---
