MCQ
A direct iodination of benzene is not possible because:
- AIodine is an oxidising agent.
- BResulting C6H5I is reduced to C6H6 by HI.
- CHI is unstable.
- DThe ring gets deactivated.

Answer
- Resulting C6H5I is reduced to C6H6 by HI.
Explanation:
The direct iodination reaction of benzene is,
C6H6 + I2 $\rightleftharpoons$ C6H5I + HI
This reaction is a reversible reaction. The product HI reacts with iodobenzene to get back benzene.
Hence, direct iodination of benzene is not possible because the product C6H5I is reduced by HI.
