What is the product when benzene reacts with 1-chloropropane in the presence of anhydrous AlCl3?

1. Benzene reacts with 1-chloropropane to form n-propylbenzene.
2. Benzene reacts with 1-chloropropane to form isopropylbenzene.
3. Benzene reacts with 1-chloropropane to form ethylbenzene.
4. Benzene reacts with 1-chloropropane to form tert-butylbenzene.

Correct answer: Benzene reacts with 1-chloropropane to form n-propylbenzene.

Solution

The reaction involves Friedel-Crafts alkylation, where benzene reacts with 1-chloropropane in the presence of anhydrous AlCl3 to form n-propylbenzene (C6H5CH2CH2CH3).
