Vedclass · Answer

(D) This reaction is a classic example of Friedel-Crafts acylation. When benzene reacts with acetyl chloride $(CH_3COCl)$ in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst like anhydrous aluminum chloride $(AlCl_3)$,an acetyl group $(-COCH_3)$ is introduced into the benzene ring. The chemical equation is: $C_6H_6 + CH_3COCl \xrightarrow{AlCl_3} C_6H_5COCH_3 + HCl$. The product formed is acetophenone $(C_6H_5COCH_3)$.
