Adding Cl2 to benzene in the presence of AlCl3 is an example of – (1) Elimination reaction (2) Substitution reaction (3) None of the options (4) Addition reaction

1 Answer

Answer :

(2) Substitution reaction Explanation: The reaction between benzene and chlorine in the presence of a catalyst such as aluminium chloride gives Chlorobenzene.
