Q28 / 200 · TS EAMCET 2002 · Chemistry

The chemicals used for preparing acetophenone are (A) $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_6$ (B) $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COCH}_3$ (C) $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COCl}$ (D) Anhydrous $\mathrm{AlCl}_3$

  • A
    $A, B, C$
  • B
    $B, C, D$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $A, B, D$
  • D
    $A, C, D$

Solution

Acetophenone can be prepared as $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_6+\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COCl} \underset{\text { Friedel-Crafts reaction }}{\stackrel{\text { anhyd }\cdot \mathrm{AlCl}_3}{\longrightarrow}}$$\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{COCH}_3+\mathrm{HCl}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
