Arenes tend to undergo substitution, rather than addition, because substitutions allows the very stable benzene ring to remain intact. What is the mechanism for acylating benzene? or methyl benzene? Benzene is refluxed with an acid chloride and anhydrous aluminium chloride catalyst and a ketone is formed.

Answer:
We get Acetophenone (C6H5COCH3) as the major product. ... AlCl3 is also a catalyst in this reaction because it gives off its Cl minus after the end of reaction and HCl is formed as bye product.
