tert-Butylbenzene

Vedclass · Answer

(B) The reaction between benzene and isobutylene $(CH_2=C(CH_3)_2)$ in the presence of an acid catalyst like $H_2SO_4$ is a Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction.In this reaction,the alkene is protonated to form a stable carbocation.Isobutylene reacts with $H^+$ to form a tert-butyl carbocation $((CH_3)_3C^+)$.This stable carbocation then undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution with benzene to form tert-butylbenzene.
