Which of the following would not give 2phenylbutane as the major product in a FriedelCrafts alkylation reaction?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Butanoyl chloride +AlCl3+\mathrm{AlCl}_3 then Zn,HCl\mathrm{Zn}, \mathrm{HCl}
Option C (Butanoyl chloride + AlCl3\mathrm{AlCl}_3 then Zn,HCl\mathrm{Zn}, \mathrm{HCl}) is correct because it undergoes Friedel-Crafts acylation followed by reduction, resulting in a straight chain alkyl group instead of 2-phenylbutane.
