Question

\large BC{l_3} + {H_2}\xrightarrow[{450^\circ C}]{{Cu - Al}}X + HCl\

\large X\xrightarrow{{methylation}}Z\. Z in the reaction is

Easy
Solution

BC{l_3} + 6{H_2}\xrightarrow[{{{450}^0}}]{{Cu - Al}}\mathop {\mathop {{B_2}{H_6}}\limits_{Diborane} }\limits_X + 6HCl

{B_2}{H_6} + 4C{H_3}I\xrightarrow{{Methylation}}{B_2}{H_2}{[C{H_3}]_4} + 4HI

                                          OR

During methylation reaction only four terminal hydrogens are replaced by methyl group but not bridged hydrogens.
