Statement I: Alkylation of benzene by Friedel-Crafts reaction often gives polyalkylated benzene. Sta — Aromatic Hydrocarbons Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

Alkyl groups are electron-releasing (activating). Once one alkyl group is added, the new alkylbenzene is more reactive than the original benzene, making it highly susceptible to a second (and third) electrophilic attack, leading to polyalkylation.
