is :
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
Aryl chlorides and bromides can easily be prepared by electrophilic substitution of arenes (toluene) with 
and 
respectively in the presence of Lewis acid catalyst ( Fe in dark).
Reaction with 
is reversible and requires the presence of oxidising agent.
Corresponding fluoroarene is not prepared by this method due to high reactivity of fluorine. Hence, ' 
' is
