Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction given is a Friedel-Crafts acylation using acetyl chloride as the acylating agent and aluminum chloride as the catalyst. This reaction results in the formation of all three compounds (I, II, and III) as the major products. Compound I is the monoacylated product, compound II is the diacylated product, and compound III is the starting material that has undergone multiple acylations. Therefore, the best choice is D, as it includes both I and II as major products produced in the reaction.
