Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The product formed by the reaction of benzene with given organic halide in the presence of ${\text{AlCl}}_{\text{3}}$ is to be identified.

Concept introduction: The Friedel-Craft alkylation is a type of electrophilic substitution reaction. ${\text{AlCl}}_{\text{3}}$ is used as Lewis acid which reacts with the alkyl chloride to form a Lewis acid-base complex.
