Using anhydrous AlCl3 as catalyst, which one of the following reactions produces ethylbenzene (PhEt)?
A
H3C $$-$$ CH2OH + C6H6
B
CH3 $$-$$ CH $$=$$ CH2 + C6H6
C
H2C $$=$$ CH2 + C6H6
D
H3C $$-$$ CH3 + C6H6
Explanation
With ethene in presence of anhydrous AlCl3, benzene gives ethyl benzene (PhEt).

MCQ (Single Correct Answer)
AIPMT 2003
The correct order of reactivity towards the electrophilic substitution of the compounds aniline (I), benzene (II) and nitrobenzene (III) is
A
III > II > I
B
II > III > I
C
I < II > III
D
I > II > III
Explanation
–NH2 group is electron donating hence increases electron density on ring. Benzene is also electron rich due to delocalisation of electrons. –NO2 group is electron withdrawing hence, decreases electron density on ring. Thus, correct order for electrophilic substitution is I $$>$$ II $$>$$ III.
