Can benzene be made HCl? If so how is this done?

[nj_bartel]

Are you asking if you can convert benzene into hydrochloric acid?

I think that he is asking if we can make Benzene HCl (the HCl salt of Benzene) Its impossible because only amines (molecules containing a N -nitrogen group-) can be made HCl salts if they aren't made they're called freebases!!!

Hope this helps!!!

Well, if that (freebase / salt) is the rationale, then what about phosphines etc? (Yes, I know this is not directly linked to the question, but formation of salts is not just limited to amines in organic chemistry)

Pardon me I didn't know that info thanks for sharing!!!
