Answer:
Friedel-Crafts Acylation is an important reaction to form several biological compounds, including DNA. Friedel-Crafts Acylation reacts a Lewis Acid, AlCl3 , with an acyl halogen to form an acylium ion. This acylium ion is very electrophilic, so the extra electrons from an aromatic compound can stabilize it.
Acylation can be used to prevent rearrangement reactions that would normally occur in alkylation. To do this an acylation reaction is performed, then the carbonyl is removed by Clemmensen reduction or a similar process.
