For the formation of toluene by Friedal Craft reaction, reactants used in presence of anhydrous AlCl3 are

1. C2H2 and CCl4
2. CH4 and CaC2
3. C6H6 and CH3Cl
4. C2H5OH and Zn

Correct answer: C6H6 and CH3Cl

Solution

In the Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction, benzene (C6H6) reacts with an alkyl halide (CH3Cl) in the presence of anhydrous AlCl3 to form toluene (C6H5CH3).
