Vedclass · Answer

(B) In Friedel-Crafts acylation,an aromatic compound (such as phenol) reacts with an acyl halide (such as $CH_3COCl$) in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst like anhydrous $AlCl_3$ to form an acyl derivative.The reaction is:$	ext{Phenol} + CH_3COCl \xrightarrow{AlCl_3} o-	ext{acetylphenol} + p-	ext{acetylphenol}$Therefore,the correct reactants are phenol and acetyl chloride $(CH_3COCl)$.
