Question #35

Practice Question

A.Formation of polyalkylated products
B.Rearrangement of the alkyl carbocation
C.Low reactivity of benzene ring
D.Requirement of anhydrous conditions

Concept Applied

Friedel-Crafts alkylation uses alkyl halides and AlCl₃ to generate carbocations, which can undergo rearrangement (e.g., 1° to 2° or 3°). This leads to...
