Question

Write notes on Fridel Craft’s alkylation.

Answer 1

Friedel–Crafts alkylation involves thealkylation of an aromatic ring with an alkyl halide using a strong Lewis acid catalyst. With anhydrous ferric chloride as a catalyst, the alkyl group attaches at the former site of the chloride ion. The general mechanism is shown below.
