Complete the following: C 6 H 5 CH 3 + Cl 2 ⟶ 383 K Sunlight

Aralkyls are prepared by the direct halogenation of a suitable hydrocarbon. It is a substitution of the halogen atom in the side chain when chlorine gas is passed through toluene in the presence of sunlight. Therefore, the following chemical reaction will take place when toluene reacts with chlorine to form chlorophenyl methane along with hydrochloric acid- C 6 H 5 CH 3 + Cl 2 → Sunlight 383 K C 6 H 5 CH 2 Cl + HCl Toluene Chlorophenyl methane ( Benzyl chloride )

An alkyl halide group is formed by direct halogenation of a hydrocarbon. When the side chain is longer than a methyl group, then the halogenation occurs at the benzylic carbon, i.e., carbon next to the benzene ring. The following reaction will occur between ethyl benzene and chlorine when they react: C 6 H 5 CH 2 CH 3 Ethyl benzene + Cl 2 → Sunlight , - HCl 383 K C 6 H 5 CHCl - CH 3 1 - Chloro - 1 - phenylethane → Sunlight , - HCl 383 K , Cl 2 C 6 H 5 CCl 2 CH 3 1 , 1 - Dichloro - 1 - phenylethane
