Complete the mechanism for the generation of the electrophile used for Friedel-Crafts alkylation with the following alkyl halide. Add curved arrows, bonds, nonbonding electron pairs, and charges where indicated. There is a double bond in the 3rd step, but it wont let me create an arrow from the Iron to the Cl. Can someone explain what I am doing wrong in the second step? Thanks! electron pairs, and ch Complete the mechanism for the generation of the electrophile used for...

The following questions are from an experiment titled Friedel-Crafts Alkylation for Organic Chemistry II Lab. There are pictures attached of the lab manual. 2) Is this method a good route for the preparation of 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 water in the separatory funnel in step 5? Hint: If no acid is added,...
