Question
Write a note on Friedel Craft’s reaction.

Answer

(1) Methyl chloride in the presence of anhydrous $AICl _3$ : When chlorobenzene is treated with methyl chloride in the presence of anhydrous $AlCl _3$, a mixture of I-chloro-4-methyl benzene (major product) and I-chloro-2-methyl benzene is formed. Since, the alkyl group is introduced in the benzene ring, the reaction is termed as Friedel Craft's alkylation.

(2) Acetyl chloride in the presence of anhydrous $AlCl _3$ : When chlorobenzene is reacted with acetyl chloride in the presence of anhydrous $AlCl _3$, a mixture of 2-chloro acetophenone and 4-chloro acetophenone (major product) is formed. Since, the acetyl group is introduced in the benzene ring, the reaction is termed as Friedel Craft's acylation.
