Answer:
Use the Bromotriflouride catalyst, BF₃
Explanation:
The BF₃ is most likely to yield less desired side products. The effect lies in the reaction mechanism.
BF₃ is a Lewis acid. Its role is to promote the ionization of the HF. This is achieved through the electrophilic mechanism. The reaction mechanism is as follows:
2 - methylpropene + H-F-BF₃ → H-F + H₃C + benzene
butylbenzene + F-BF₃ → tert-butylbenzene + H-F + BF₃ (regenerated catalyst)
The reaction is a double displacement one which means the cation of one reactant is substituted to the cation of the other reactant to identify the products. Hence in this reaction, the products are silver ammonium nitrate (Ag(NH3)2NO3) and hydrochloric acid (HCl).
Answer:
D would be the best answer
