The reaction involved isIn presence of FeCl3 and in dark, electrophilic substitution on benzene ring by Cl+ at o− and p- positions occurs to give o- and p-chlorotoluene. Since, methyl group activates the ring at o- and p- positions more than m- positions the electrophilic substitution occurs at o- and p- positions to greater extent.
