Which of these will produce the highest yield in Friedel Crafts reaction?
- A

- B

- C

- D

View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
-
Key concept: Friedel–Crafts reaction
Friedel–Crafts alkylation/acylation occurs best with aromatic rings that are activated toward electrophilic substitution.
- Electron-donating groups increase the yield.
- Electron-withdrawing groups decrease the yield.
- Strongly deactivated rings usually do not give good Friedel–Crafts reaction.
- Also, groups like may coordinate with and suppress the reaction.
-
Problem with the given question
The options are shown only as:
- A:
- B:
- C:
- D:
but the actual compounds are missing.
Therefore, it is not possible to independently evaluate which substrate gives the highest yield in Friedel–Crafts reaction.
-
What would normally be checked
To decide the correct option, we would compare:
- whether the ring is activated or deactivated,
- whether the substituent complexes with ,
- steric hindrance,
- and whether rearrangement or polyalkylation is likely.
-
Comparison with stored answer
Since the structures/options are absent, I cannot verify from chemistry reasoning alone that option A is correct.
So I must conclude that the question data is incomplete.
