Question
The reaction of the toluene with Cl2 in presence of FeCl3 gives ′X′ and reaction in presence of light gives ′Y′. Thus ′X′ and ′Y′ are
Options
A.X = Benzal chloride, Y = o-chlorotoluene
B.X = m-chlorotoluene, Y = p-chlorotoluene
C.X = o-and p-chlorotoluene, Y = trichloromethyl benzene
D.X = Benzyl chloride, Y = m-chlorotoluene
Solution
In the presence of halogen carrier, electophilic substitution occurs while in the presence of sunlight substitution occurs at the side chain.
(∵ -CH3 is an o/p directing group.)
