Answer:
When benzene react with benzyol chloride in the presence of as a catalyst to form benzophnone. This reaction is known as the Friedel-crafts acylation.
Mechanism :
Step 1 : The carbonyl oxygen of acid chloride forms complex with . This complex forms acylium ion that behaves as strong electrophile.
Step 2 : The attack of acylium ion on benzene ring results in the formation of arenium ion which is stabilized through denationalization.
Step 3 : In order to regain the aromaticity, the arenium ion undergoes los of proton to form and simultaneously removal of HCl.
By following these three steps, we can get the benzophenone from the benzene.
