The chemicals used for preparing acetophenone are (A) $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_6$ (B) $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COCH}_3$ (C) $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COCl}$ (D) Anhydrous $\mathrm{AlCl}_3$
  1. $A, B, C$
  2. $B, C, D$
  3. $A, B, D$
  4. $A, C, D$

Solution

Acetophenone can be prepared as $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_6+\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COCl} \underset{\text { Friedel-Crafts reaction }}{\stackrel{\text { anhyd }\cdot \mathrm{AlCl}_3}{\longrightarrow}}$\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{COCH}_3+\mathrm{HCl}$
