Among the following, the reaction that proceeds through an electrophilic substitution, is :

  1. [figure]
  2. [figure]
  3. [figure]
  4. [figure]

Answer

(4) [figure]

Solution

(1) Benzene + Cl2 in UV light gives benzene hexachloride (BHC) by free radical addition.

(2) Benzyl alcohol + HCl gives benzyl chloride by nucleophilic substitution (Cl- replaces –OH).

(3) C6H5N2+Cl- with Cu2Cl2 (Sandmeyer reaction): N2 is replaced by Cl, not an electrophilic substitution.

(4) As per NCERT, in halogenation of benzene the Lewis acid gives the electrophile:

Cl2 + AlCl3 Cl+ + [AlCl4]-

Cl+ attacks the ring and H+ is lost ⇒ chlorobenzene + HCl ⇒ electrophilic substitution.

Answer: (4)
