Friedel-Crafts reaction using MeCI and anhydrous `AICI_(3)` will take place most effeciently with :

A

Benzene

B

Nitrobenzene

C

Acetophenone

D

Toluene

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In Friedel-Craft’s reaction, an electrophile attacks on benzene ring. Thus, higher the electron density on benzene ring, more readily the reaction will take place. Thus presence of electron donating group will increase the reactivity and presence of electron attracting group will decrease the reactivity towards Friedel-Craft’s reaction. Thus the most reactive is toluene.
