Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To achieve a p-chloro substitution on t-butylbenzene, a classic Friedel-Crafts alkylation using Cl2 and FeCl3 as a Lewis acid catalyst is appropriate. This combination facilitates the formation of a chloronium ion, which can then react with the aromatic ring to form the desired p-chloro substituted product.
