Why is methanol chosen as the solvent for recrystallization? What would happen if the student uses dichloromethane instead? 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.**Diagram Explanation:**- **Left Side (Reactants):** - The reactant is 1,4-dimethoxybenzene, which is a benzene ring with two methoxy groups (OCH₃) attached at the 1 and 4 positions. One methoxy group is depicted on the top right, and the other on the bottom left of the benzene ring.- **Middle (Reaction Conditions):** - Over the arrow, (CH₃)₃COH is shown, indicating that tert-butyl alcohol is used. - Below the arrow, CH₃COOH/H₂SO₄ is noted, showing that acetic acid and sulfuric acid are used as the reaction conditions.- **Right Side (Product):** - The product is a benzene ring with methoxy groups (OCH₃) and two tert-butyl groups ((CH₃)₃C) attached at the 1 and 4 positions. The tert-butyl groups are depicted as (H₃C)₃C, placed above the top right and bottom right of the benzene ring.The diagram illustrates the Friedel-Crafts Alkylation process where the tert-butyl cation acts as the electrophile to alkylate 1,4-dimethoxybenzene.
