Friedel-Crafts reaction using MeCl and anhydrous \[AlC{{l}_{3}}\]will take place most efficiently with
A) benzene
B) nitrobenzene
C) acetophenone
D) toluene
Correct Answer:
D
Solution :
Friedel-crafts reaction is an electrophilic substitution reaction and presence of an electron releasing substituent like Me, makes the benzene nucleus more reactive towards such reactions) Thus toluene is most reactive among the given.
