Which of the following is a limitation of the Friedel-Crafts reaction? Select one: OA. The carbocation electrophile can potentially undergo an unwanted rearrangement prior to its bonding to the aromatic ring. O B. Poly-alkylation products form when aromatic reactant and alkylating agent are mixed together in comparable amounts. OC. A Friedel-Crafts reaction fails when the aromatic starting compound contains a moderately or strongly deactivating group. OD. All of the above choices are limitations of the Friedel-Crafts reaction.
