1. a student want to synthesize ethyl benzene using friedel-craft's alkylation. However she worries that it may end up with mixture of ethylbenzene and 1,4-diethylbenzene. propose a reaction that can use to get pure ethylbenzene.
2.the friedel-crafts reaction of benzene with 2-chloro-3-methylbutane in the presence of AlCl3 occurs with the carbocation rearrangement. what is the structure of the product.

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
