Name of your TA: Raul Diaz Section # U12 Date performed: 10/7/2022 Friedel Craft Alkylation of 2-acetyltoluene Purpose: Friedel Craft Alkylation is a method to add alkyl groups to benzene ring by using AlCl 3 and an alkyl group attached to a Cl. This process yields an alkyl group attached but benzene becomes highly reactive due to now being an electrophilic aromatic substitution. So not only does this cause more than one R group to attach to the benzene ring, but it also causes it to make multiple configurations. In this experiment, one is going to approach this by analyzing the unique footprint each configuration leaves behind. Mechanism: Friedel Craft Alkylation of 2-acetytltoulene I had to modify my mechanism because the methyl group was at the incorrect position.
Procedure: Procedure described in the following worksheet was followed to conduct the virtual experiment. Work sheet used Friedel-Crafts – 2. Results and Discussion :

Questions: List the starting materials, solvent, reagent, and products formed: Toluene, Al-Cl3, carbonyl group How long did it take to finish the reaction? 4 hours because for some reason the experiment wouldn’t allow me to do both FTIR and NMR at the same time. What is the TLC value (R f ) for the Startingz Materials? If none are present enter "0" What is the TLC value (R f ) for the Products? If none are present enter "0" 0 0
