Question

In the above reactions, which of the following is/ are products?

• A. $1,2$- Dichlorobenzene
• B. $1,3$- Dichlorobenzene
• C. $1,4$- Dichlorobenzene
• D. Both A and C

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both A and C

$\begin{array}{c}{\text{Cl}}^{+}{\text{electrophile is formed during reaction of FeCl}}_3\text{and}{Cl}_2\text{.}\\ \text{Now, in chlorobenzene chlorine increases the}\\ \text{eleetron density at ortho and para position through}\\ \text{resonance (as chlorine is ortho-para directing group)}\\ \text{Hence, option D is correct.}\end{array}$
