Question

What is the mechanism of alkylation of benzene?

Answer 1

Answer:

An alkyl group can be added to a benzene molecule by an electrophile aromatic substitution reaction called the Friedel‐Crafts alkylation reaction. One example is the addition of a methyl group to a benzene ring. The mechanism for this reaction begins with the generation of a methyl carbocation from methylbromide.
