Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The major component of products formed in the given reaction is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

In the presence of Lewis acid, benzene reacts with alkyl halide, undergoes alkylation and forms alkylbenzene. This is called Friedel–Crafts alkylation.

The Friedel–Crafts alkylation reaction occurs through the formation of carbocation. Thus, the primary alkyl halide undergoes rearrangement by hydride shift to form a more stable carbocation.
