Write the structures and names of the compounds formed when compound ‘A' with molecular formula, C7H8 is treated with Cl2 in the presence of FeCl3.
The compound with molecular formula C7H8 is toluene, C6H5CH3. Since -CH3 group is o-, p-directing, therefore, chlorination of toluene gives o-chlorotoluene and p-chlorotoluene, in which the p-isomer predominates.
