Name a possible product of this reaction in the presence of ether and alcl3: methylbenzene + 1-chlorodecane. a. 1-methyl-2-decylbenzeneb. 1-methyl-3-decylbenzenec. 1-methyl-4-decylbenzened. none of these

c. 1-methyl-4-decylbenzene

Explanation:

Hello,

On the attached document you will find the major product for the stated chemical reaction even thought the listed product are possible, nonetheless, by cause of the steric hindrance, the most probable and abundant product is the shown one, 1-methyl-4-decylbenzene, as it has more space for the decyl to become part of the ring. Such reaction is a typical Friedel-Crafts alkylation of an aromatic compound whereas aluminium chloride is used as the catalyst to attach the alkyl chloride to the aromatic ring.

Best regards.

the atomic mass is the bottom number on the element.
