18.2 Friedel Crafts Alkylation and Acylation | Organic Chemistry

Chad gives a thorough presentation covering Friedel-Crafts Alkylation and Friedel-Crafts Acylation. He begins with the mechanism of the Friedel-Crafts Alkylation and reveals the three shortcomings of the reaction:
1) The reaction is prone to occur multiple times (polyalkylation),
2) It is subject to rearrangements,
3) It doesn't work with strongly deactivated benzenes
Chad then presents the mechanism for the Friedel-Crafts Acylation and goes on to show how it is not subject to the first two shortcomings experienced by Friedel-Crafts Alkylations. Finally, Chad concludes the lesson with the Gattermann-Koch reaction, functionally a special case of the Friedel-Crafts Acylation.

    A very beautiful and interesting explanation. I am a student at the College of Pharmacy, University of Baghdad. I have been following you for a while, and I was very impressed by your wonderful explanation.

    Awesome video, Chad! Will you get a product for the top 4 EAS reactions even if NO2 is present? My understanding is that the only time NO2 will interfere is if it is Cl-R, or R-O-Cl (the bottom 2 reactions) Thanks!

    Hey Abby - do you mean will nitrobenzene still react? It does but will direct the addition of the new substituent to the meta position due to ring deactivation - did you check out this video kzread.info/dash/bejne/fWRpxKaDfbnNhaw.html on reactions of substituted benzene?
