why cant n-proplybenzene be synthesized by Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction?
Because n-propylbromide on heterolytric cleavage gives n-propyl carbocation, which invloves in rearrangement so that isopropyl carbocation generation takes place. so that on alkylation it gives only cumene as major product but n-proplybenzene is a minor product.
why cant n-proplybenzene be synthesized by Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction?
In a Friedel-Crafts Alkylation, there are multiple continuous
reactions. But in the Friedel-Crafts Acylation, the reaction stops
after producing the first product. Explain why.
CH3 CH3 CH3C1 AICI: + Нас (Product mixture) CCH3 CH3CCI AlCl3 (Sole product)
Why is the Friedel-Crafts acylation preferred over Friedel-Crafts alkylation for monoalkylation of a benzene ring even though extra steps are required?
Write out a proposed mechanism for the Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction of p-xylene to form n-propyl.
When performing a Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction, not only does one have the problems of multiple alkylation and rearrangement of the cation, but the presence of strong electron donating groups(yes, donating is correct) prevents reaction. Provide an explanation for this. Metallocenes, like ferrocene cannot be nitrated. Why? Draw the structure of the diacetylferrocene you would obtain if ferrocene were diacetylated. Draw an arrow pushing mechanism for the formation of the acylium ion when acetic anhydride reacts with phosphoric acid. Provide the...

aw the major organic product of the following Friedel-Crafts alkylation. (An excess of benzene is present.) AICI, Previous ⓧ Give Up & View Solution # Try Again Next Exit Explanation This reaction is an electrophilic aromatic substitution. The aluminum chloride polarizes the chlorine-carbon bond of the alkyl halide, imparting carbocation character (i.e., electrophilicity) to the alkyl group Since an excess of benzene is present,...
