Concept introduction:
Friedal – Crafts alkylation (or acylation):
Friedal – Crafts alkylation (or acylation) is one of the electrophilic substitution reactions. Alkyl halide or acyl halides reaction with benzene (or electron donating group present in the benzene ring) in the presence of anhydrous aluminum trichloride which gives the corresponding alkylated or acylated compound.
