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 |
|
Definition
|
|
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 |
