Textbook Question
Chapter 16.SE, Problem 30MP
The carbocation electrophile in a Friede1-Crafts reaction can be generated by an alternate means than reaction of an alkyl chloride with AlCl3. For example, reaction of benzene with 2-methylpropene in the presence of H3PO4 yields tert-butylbenzene. Propose a mechanism for this reaction.
