Solution
The correct option is BC6H6+CH3COClAlCl3−−−−→C6H5COCH3+HCl
Friedel–Crafts alkylation involves the alkylation of an aromatic ring with an alkyl halide using a strong Lewis acid AlCl3 as the catalyst.With anhydrous aluminium chloride as a catalyst, the alkyl group attaches at the former site of the chloride ion.
Only the second option is undergoing aromatic alkylation with AlCl3as a catalyst.
