Vedclass · Answer

(D) The reaction of ethylbenzene with $Cl_2$ in the presence of heat (or $UV$ light) proceeds via a free radical mechanism. The hydrogen atom is abstracted from the benzylic position because the resulting benzylic radical is stabilized by resonance with the benzene ring. The intermediate formed is $Phdot{C}HCH_3$. Subsequent reaction with $Cl_2$ yields $PhCHClCH_3$ as the major product. The primary radical $Phdot{C}H_2CH_2$ is less stable,making $PhCH_2CH_2Cl$ the minor product.
