What would be the products of the following reaction ?
1 - benzene + isobutanol ( in presence of H2SO4 ) ---------->
2 - benzene + isobutyl chloride ( in presence of AlCl3) ------------->

Dear Student,

Please find below the solution to the asked query:

In both the cases there is a formation of stable tert-butyl cation which is attacked by the π-electrons of benzene giving tert-butylbenzene as the final product.


1 - benzene + isobutanol ( in presence of H2SO4 ) ----------> tert-butylbenzene

2 - benzene + isobutyl chloride ( in presence of AlCl3) -------------> tert-butylbenzene
