Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction involves a Friedel-Crafts alkylation where 2-chlorotoluene reacts with butyl chloride in the presence of AlCl3. This results in the formation of a carbocation intermediate which can undergo two possible reactions. One reaction involves attack by the benzene ring to form 4-butyl-2-chlorotoluene (product 2), while the other reaction involves attack by the butyl chloride to form 1-butyl-3-chlorobenzene (product 3). However, product 2 can further undergo Friedel-Crafts alkylation to form 1-butyl-4-(butylamino)benzene (product 1). Since product 1 is not directly formed from the initial reaction and requires a secondary reaction, the major product obtained is only product 3. Therefore, the correct answer is C) only 3.
