    The reagent used for Friedel-Crafts reaction is

    A) dry ether      

    B)        \[AlC{{l}_{3}}\] 

    C) anhydrous \[AlC{{l}_{3}}\]

    D)       \[{{P}_{2}}{{O}_{5}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    (i) Dry ether is used in Wurtz reaction. (ii) \[{{\text{P}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{5}}}\]is used in dehydration reactions. (iii) Anhydrous \[\text{AlC}{{\text{l}}_{\text{3}}}\]or anhydrous \[\text{FeC}{{\text{l}}_{\text{3}}}\]are used in Friedel-Craft reaction. These are Lewis acids which help in formation of electrophile. Friedel-Craft reaction is used for alkylation of aromatic compounds.
