    Benzene reacts with chlorine in the presence of light to yield
    Question

    Benzene reacts with chlorine in the presence of light to yield

    A.

    chlorobenzene

    B.

    tetrachlorobenzene

    C.

    benzene hexachloride

    D.

    More than one of the above

    E.

    None of the above

    Correct option is C

    The correct answer is benzene hexachloride.
    In the presence of ultraviolet light (but without a catalyst present), hot benzene will also undergo an addition reaction with chlorine or bromine. The ring delocalisation is permanently broken and a chlorine or bromine atom adds on to each carbon atom.
    For example, if you bubble chlorine gas through hot benzene exposed to UV light for an hour, you get 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane or benzene hexachloride.
