Experiment: Friedel-Crafts Alkylation

Question:  What factors are responsible for producing the disubstitution product as the only product?

materials used:

  • 1.15 g of 1,4-dimethoxybenzene

  • 2.2 mL of tert.-butyl alcohol

  • 3.4 mL glacial acetic acid

  • 4.50 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid

Product characterization:

    • 0.77 g of the final product
In the current experiment, we will use a different electrophile (the tert.-butyl cation) to alkylate
1,4-dimethoxybenzene. This is a Friedel-Crafts Alkylation reaction.
