Assertion : Benzene is a solvent for the Friedel Crafts alkylation of bromobenzene.
Reason : Friedel Crafts reaction is used to introduce alkyl or acyl group in benzene nucleus.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
During alkylation of bromobenzene, if benzene is used as solvent, alkylation of benzene will take place because benzene is more reactive for electrophilic substitution reactions than bromobenzene, so benzene is not used as a solvent for this reaction. Friedel Crafts reaction is used to introduce an alkyl or acyl group in benzene nucleus
