Solution
Toluene reacts with a halogen in the presence of iron (III) chloride giving ortho and para halo compounds. The reaction is electrophilic substitution reaction.
It has the following mechanism
In this mechanism, electrophile Cl+ attacks to electrons rich benzene ring and replaces hydrogen. So, the reaction is the electrophilic substitution reaction.
