Q. Using anhydrous $AlCl_{3}$ as catalyst, which one of the following reactions produce ethylbenzene$(PhEt)$?
A) $H_{3}C - CH_{2}OH + C_{6}H_{6}$
B) $CH_{3} - CH = CH_{2} + C_{6}H_{6}$
C) $H_{2}C = CH_{2} + C_{6}H_{6}$
D) $H_{3}C - CH_{3} + C_{6}H_{6}$
Explanation
(c)
By the reaction of benzene with ethylene in presence of anhydrous $AlCl_{3}$, ethylbenzene is produced.
