What product is formed when benzene is treated with each organic halide in the presence of AlCl3.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The reaction that involves the replacement of an aromatic proton (hydrogen atom on the benzene ring) by an alkyl group is named as Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction.

The reaction proceeds by the generation of an alkyl cation from an alkyl halide.
