Try appending the element itself:

$('#main_menu li').click(function() {
    $(this).appendTo('.main_content ul')
});

$('#main_menu li').click(function(){
  $('.main_content ul').attr('id', this.id);
});

Here this.id will get the clicked element id and set that id to .main_content ul.

But this will make id duplication, which is not allowed.

Instead of id you can make class:

$('#main_menu li').click(function(){
  $('.main_content ul').attr('class', this.id);
});
