Which of the following would not give 2-phenylbutane as the major product in a Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction with benzene?

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

The Friedal – crafts alkylation reaction will give propyl phenyl ketone which on further Clemmenson’s reduction will give butyl benzene.
C 6 H 6 + CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 COCl AlCl 3 C 6 H 5 COCH 2 CH 2 CH 3 Zn-Hg/HCl C 6 H 5 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 3 Butylbenzene
Rest other will give 2-phenylbutane as in them rearrangement of carbocation is possible.
