    The reagent used for converting benzene to ethyl benzene is:

    A)  \[{{\text{C}}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}Cl,\] anhydrous \[AlC{{l}_{3}}\]

    B)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}Cl,\] aqueous \[AlC{{l}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH,\] anhydrous \[AlC{{l}_{3}}\]

    D)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}Cl,SOC{{l}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Friedel-Crafts reaction: This reaction is used to introduce alkyi (methyl or ethyl) group in benzene ring. In this reaction when benzene reacts with alkyi halide \[({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}Cl)\] in presence of anhydrous \[\text{AlC}{{\text{l}}_{\text{3}}}\]ethyl benzene is obtained.
