Benzene is treated with isobutyl alcohol in presence of conc. `H_(2)SO_(4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In presence of conc. `H_(2)SO_(4)` , isobutyl alcohol first generates a `1^(@)` carbocation which then undergoes rearrangement by 1,2-hydride shift to form a more stable tert-butyl carbocation. This subsequently reacts with benzene to form tert-butylbezene.
