Friedel-Craft's reaction using MeCl and anhydrous AlCl3 will take place most efficiently with
benzene
nitrobenzene
acetophenone
toluene
D.
toluene
Friedel-crafts reaction is an electrophilic substitution reaction and presence of an electron releasing substituent like Me, makes the benzene nucleus more reactive towards such reactions. Thus toluene is most reactive among the given.
Under identical conditions, the SN1 reaction will occur most efficiently with
tert-butyl chloride
1-chlorobutane
2-methyl-1-chloropropane
2-chlorobutane
An equimolar mixture of toluene and chlorobenzene is treated with a mixture of conc.H2SO4 and cone. HNO3. Indicate the correct statement from the following.
p-nitrotoluene is formed in excess
equimolar amounts of p-nitrotoluene and p-nitrochlorobenzene are formed
p-nitrochlorobenzene is formed in excess
m-nitrochlorobenzene is formed in excess
Among the following carbocations:
Ph2C+CH2Me (I), PhCH2CH2CH+Ph (II),Ph2CHCH+Me (III) and Ph2C(Me)CH2 (IV), the order of stability is
IV > II > I > III
I > II > III > IV
II > I > IV > III
I > IV > III > II
The reaction of toluene with chlorine in presence of ferric chloride gives predominatly
