Friedel-Crafts Alkylation, based on substituted benzene reaction, including reactivity based on electron donating and withdrawing group and also discuss the possible positions (Ortho, Meta and Para) for the new group. Explain if there is polysubstitution occurs. Keeping the reaction mixture in the ice bath and adding the reagent slowly by continuously stirring is the key point of success.

In Friedel-Crafts acylation, why is water needed? Why does the entire step 4 mechanism need to occur? Also in the step 4 mechanism, what are the exact arrow-pushing mechanisms for the addition of water?
What type of reaction is a Grignard reaction? What is the critical intermediate (which can be isolated and enables the final product)? Why should water be excluded from a Grignard reaction? Since this is the case, why does just addition of a cotton ball work for our reaction setup? Why was extraction by both acid AND base necessary to arrive at highly purified benzoic acid? If we wanted to improve our set-up, we could have added a desiccant between two cotton plugs. Why is this much better than adding drying agents such as Na2SO4directly into the solution? If we had gotten less than 50% yield for the overall process, what is at least one likely source of loss?
Biphenyl was used instead of benzene for this lab (Friedel-Crafts Alkylation) . What would be the predictable major product if benzene was used instead?
In the chemical reaction between crotyl chloride and ethanolic silver nitrate solution, a precipitate is definitely formed. Using the skeletal structures of the molecules, write out the skeletal structure of each reaction (don't include the mechanism). Identify what the nucleophile is in each type of reaction, especially within this SN1 reaction. Explain the reactivity of each electrophile/substrate in terms of whether they are tertiary, secondary, primary, etc. for each reaction. Include the overall chemical reaction.
Based on the theoretical result, what is the order of reactivity of primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl halides with sodium iodide in acetone? Based on the theoretical result, what is the order of reactivity of primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl halides with ethanolic silver nitrate? In the Silver Nitrate Test, which is more reactive benzyl chloride or chlorobenzene? Compare SN1 and SN2 Reactions of Alkyl Halides ALKYL HALIDES
For the following reactions, what is its (a) type of alkyl halide, (b) type of Nu, (c) type of solvent, (d) if is it substitution is it inverted or not if not substitution is it not applicable and (e) what is the mechanism?
Provide a detailed mechanism for the major product of the Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction in this experiment.
Why is hard to stop Friedel-Crafts Alkylation after one reaction, but not the case with FriedelCrafts Acylation?
Why is methanol chosen as the solvent for recrystallization? What would happen if the student uses dichloromethane instead? The reaction is Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution: Friedel-Crafts Alkylation. More info attached

I need help with setting up the mechanism for this equation. I can apply saponification, hydrolysis, claisen, or acetoacetic synthesis, malonic ester or which ever is appropriate for this
How does increasing base, solvent, or alkyl halide or aptly halide + base affect or decreasing them affect the reaction rate for e2/e1 and sn2/sn1? Please provide examples
