Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given reaction is a Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction where benzene reacts with 1-chlorobutane in the presence of AlCl3 as a catalyst. The reaction follows carbocation intermediate formation. The 1-chlorobutane undergoes cleavage by the catalyst to generate a butyl carbocation, which is the electrophile in the reaction. The butyl carbocation attacks benzene to form a new carbon-carbon bond between the butyl group and the benzene ring. As a result, we get n-butylbenzene as the major organic product. It has only one structure, hence the correct answer is C.
