Answer:
Friedel–Crafts alkylation has been hypothesized to be reversible. In a retro-Friedel–Crafts reaction or Friedel–Crafts dealkylation, alkyl groups are removed in the presence of protons or other Lewis acid. ... However, the actual reaction product is 1,3,5-triethylbenzene with all alkyl groups as a meta substituent.
