The mechanism for the following reaction has to be illustrated –
Concept Introduction:
Friedel Crafts reaction is an electrophilic substitution reaction. This reaction is useful to introduce alkyl, aryl or acyl group onto benzene ring. So this reaction is commonly known as Friedel Crafts acylation if acyl group is imparted on benzene ring or Friedel Crafts alkylation if alkyl group is imparted on benzene ring.
Benzene is highly stable that the sole presence of any alkyl or acyl halide is not enough to initiate the reaction. A catalyst, preferably a Lewis acid such as
Aromaticity is the property of organic compounds having cyclic and planar structure with
