Solution
The correct option is D The Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction is a method of generating alkylbenzenes by using alkyl halides as reactants in presence of AlCl3
This is done through an electrophilic attack on the aromatic ring with the help of a carbocation. Here primary carbocation formed initally rearranges to a more stable secondary carbocation.
The Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction of benzene is illustrated below.
