The reaction of toluene with Cl2 in presence of FeCl3 gives ‘X’ while theof toluene with Cl2 in presence of light gives ‘Y’. Thus ‘X’ and ‘Y’ are: (a) X = benzyl chloride Y = o and p – chlorotoluene (b) X = m – chlorotoluene Y = p – chlorotoluene (c) X = o and p–chlorotoluene Y = trichloromethylbenzene (d) X= benzyl chloride, Y = m-chlorotoluene |

Answer» Answer is (c) X = o and p–chlorotoluene Y = trichloromethylbenzene The reaction of toluene with Cl2 in presence of FeCl3 gives ‘X’ due to electrophilic substitution reaction taking place at ortho and para positions and reaction in the presence of light gives ‘Y’, due to substitution reaction occurring via free radical mechanism . Thus ‘X’ and ‘Y’are X = o and p–chlorotoluene Y = trichloromethylbenzene |
