Why CH3COCI/AICI, mixture is used for Friedel-Crafts acetylation reaction and not CH;COCI/H,SO4 mixture? O H2SO4 is a weaker Lewis acid than AICI3 which will not facilitate the removal Cl ion from acyl chloride. O AICI, is a Lewis base which will facilitate the removal CI ion from acyl chloride but H2SO, will release protons in the medium. O AICI, is a Lewis acid which will facilitate the removal Cl' ion from acyl chloride but H2SO, will release protons in the medium. O H2SO, is a stronger Lewis acid than AICI3 which will not facilitate the removal Cr ion from acyl chloride.

Why CH3COCI/AICI, mixture is used for Friedel-Crafts acetylation reaction and not
CH3COCI/H2SO4 mixture?
O H2SO4 is a weaker Lewis acid than AICI3 which will not facilitate the removal Cl ion from acyl chloride.
O AICI3 is a Lewis base which will facilitate the removal Cl ion from acyl chloride but H2SO4 will release protons
in the medium.
O AICla is a Lewis acid which will facilitate the removal Cl' ion from acyl chloride but H2SO, will release protons
in the medium.
O H2SO4 is a stronger Lewis acid than AICI3 which will not facilitate the removal Cr ion from acyl chloride.
