Write equations for the following:
a) oxidation of chloroform by air and light
b) reaction of chlorobenzene with CHCl / anhydrous AlCl
a) oxidation of chloroform by air and light
b) reaction of chlorobenzene with CHCl / anhydrous AlCl
Solution
(a)
(hence chloroform is kept in dark, fully filled bottles).
(b) Friedel–Crafts alkylation; Cl is o/p-directing:
(1-chloro-2-methylbenzene and 1-chloro-4-methylbenzene, the para isomer major).
