Term
| 2 cases to worry about regarding the formation of the electrophile in Friedel-Crafts alkylation |
|
Definition
-methyl or primary, secondary or tertiary
-whether or not we're adding a secondary or tertiary alkyl halide |
|
|
Term
| the type of carbocation that won't exist very long in Friedel-Crafts rxn |

|
|
Term
| what to watch out for when you do Friedel-Crafts alkylation |
|
Definition
-possible rearrangements
-methyl and primary form complex with Lewis acid, NOT carbocation |
|
|
Term
| what methyl and primary alkyl groups do with Lewis acids |
|
Definition
| form a complex, NOT a carbocation |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
forms acylium ion, adds only once
uses acid halide to add to the ring |
|
|
Term
| why Friedel-Crafts acylation adds only once |
|
Definition
| because it deactivates the ring |
|
