EAS: friedel-crafts alkylation correct answers -the friedel-crafts alkylation makes it possible for us to install an alkyl group onto an aromatic ting -this is accomplished by reacting an alkyl halide with a lewis acid to generate a species that is electrophilic enough to react with benzene -good at forming carbon-carbon bonds EAS: Friedel-Crafts alkylation-reagents correct answers -alkyl halides are generally electrophilic but no electrophilic enough to attract the benzene ring -it was fo...

Chapter 18 EAS Questions and Answers 100% correct Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution -reaction in which an electrophile is substituted for a hydrogen on an aromatic ring -many different types of EAS reactions based on what functional group replaces the hydrogen Alkene vs Benzene Alkenes undergo addition reactions but Benzenes react differently under similar reagents. Don't confuse the two, one is Aromatic and the other isn't. Aromatic Requirements The organic structure must...

This document contains digitally taken, handwritten notes for the reactions of aromatic compounds chapter. It starts with the mechanism of electrophilic aromatic substitution, which is the foundational knowledge needed to understand this chapter. Mechanisms include halogenation, nitration, sulfonation, Friedel Craft’s alkylation and many others. It also talks about activators and deactivators, synthesis of disubstituted benzene derivatives. It also thoroughly explains nine different reaction c...
