Draw the major organic product of the following Friedel–Crafts
alkylation. (An excess of benzene is present.)
aw the major organic product of the following Friedel-Crafts alkylation. (An excess of benzene is present.) AICI, Previous ⓧ Give Up & View Solution # Try Again Next Exit Explanation This reaction is an electrophilic aromatic substitution. The aluminum chloride polarizes the chlorine-carbon bond of the alkyl halide, imparting carbocation character (i.e., electrophilicity) to the alkyl group Since an excess of benzene is present,...
What is the first step in the friedel crafts alkylation? A.Form a carbon cation on the carbon B.Remove a hydrogen freon the benzene C.Connect the alkyl chlorine to ferric chloride D. Electrons from the oxygen attack the benzene ring

The following questions are from an experiment titled
Friedel-Crafts Alkylation for Organic Chemistry II Lab. There are
pictures attached of the lab manual.
2) Is this method a good route for the preparation of
p-sec-butyltoulene? Give reasons for your answer.
3) Why do you use a large excess of toulene. What are its
functions?
4) What is the purpose for adding the hydrochloric acid to the
water in the separatory funnel in step 5? Hint: If no acid is
added,...
3. Which of the following is/are false regarding Friedel-Crafts alkylation? H2 gas is a by-product Alkyl halide can rearrange rapidly following heterolysis AlCl3 is the electron-deficient species when generating the reactive electrophile A. I only B. i and i C. li only Frank D. i, ii, and iii are false.
Question 30 (4 points) Friedel-Crafts alkylation reactions cannot be performed on benzaldehyde because: The aldehyde group is strongly activating, and multiple substitutions occur on the aromatic ring. The aldehyde group gets alkylated instead of the aromatic ring. The aldehyde group attacks the Lewis acid to form an acid-base complex in which the aromatic ring is strongly deactivated The aldehyde group is moderately deactivating preventing any substitution on the aromatic ring. Question 31 (4 points) Which of the following produces no...

QUESTIONS 1. What is the purpose of the sulfuric acid (yes, it's a catalyst, but why is it a catalyst? What is it doing that makes the reaction possible? Would the reaction just go slower without it, or would the reaction not go at all? Why?) 2. If isobutyl alcohol (2 methyl propanol) is used instead of tert butyl alcohol, a mixture of products is obtained. One the products is the same as the product obtained with the tert butyl...
Chern 204-PSI, 6 . Friedel Crafts Acylation of an Unknown Benzene Compound (One weck lab The Intent of this Lab To acetylate an unknown benzene compound via a Friedel-Crafts acylation and use spectroscopic techniques to determine the acetophenone derivative's identity Introduction The Friedel-Crafts reaction dates back to before 1900 and it is still widely used today. The active electrophilic agent (an acylium ion) is classically prepared and reacts very quickly. Another appealing feature of this reaction is that the acylated...
