Assertion : Friedel-Crafts reaction between benzene and acetic anhydride in the presence of anhydrous `AlCl_3` yields acetophenone and not poly substituted products.
Reason : Acetophenone formed poisons the catalyst preventing further reaction.

A

Statement 1 is True, statement 2 is True, Statement 2 is Correct explanation for Statement 1.

B

Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True, Statement 2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement 1.

C

Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is False.

D

Statement 1 is False, Statement 2 is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`CH_(3)CO` group in acetophenone being electron-withdrawing reduces the electron density in the benzene ring, thereby preventing further electrophilic substitution.
