The major product formed in the reaction of toluene with chlorine in the presence of ferric chloride is:This question has multiple correct optionsA. o-chlorotolueneB. m-chlorotolueneC. p-chlorotolueneD. benzyl chloride
The major product formed in the reaction of toluene with chlorine in the presence of ferric chloride is a mixture of o-chlorotoluene, m-chlorotoluene, and p-chlorotoluene.
When chlorine reacts with toluene in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst like ferric chloride, it undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution (chlorination) reaction. Chlorine substitutes one of the hydrogen atoms on the benzene ring of toluene, resulting in the formation of a mixture of chlorotoluenes.
Therefore, the correct options in this case are A. o-chlorotoluene, B. m-chlorotoluene, and C. p-chlorotoluene. D. benzyl chloride is not the major product in this reaction.
