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.

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

When an arene is treated with Cl₂ in the presence of FeCl₃, the electrophilic addition reaction chlorinates the arene to produce aryl chloride. As a result, the chemical provided is C₆H₅-CH₃, often known as toluene. o-chlorotoluene and p-chlorotoluene are the results of electrophilic substitution chlorination.
