When these two compounds are mixed, a Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction occurs, in which the acyl group (the -COCH3 group) from the phenyl acetate is transferred to the benzene ring of the aluminium chloride. This reaction can occur at either the ortho or para position to the hydroxyl group, so the product is a mixture of ortho and para hydroxyacetophenones.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because
