Friedel-Crafts Reaction (Alkylation & Acylation) Assignment
Q.1. write down the structure of electrophilic intermediate of Friedel-Crafts Alkylation when ethyl chloride is the reactant.
Q.2. What is the role of Aluminium Chloride is Friedel-Crafts reaction?
Q.3. Show stepwise mechanism of Friedel-Crafts Alkylation taking benzene and Ethyl Chloride.
Q.4. Reaction of 2-bromopropane with benzene does not yield n-propylbenzene as major product. An undesired side product iso-propylbenzene is produced as major product. Give plausible reaction mechanism to explain their formation.
Q.5. "Friedel-Crafts Acylation does not yield any rearranged product as found in Friedel-Crafts Alkylation." Justify this statement. Also convert benzene to n-propylbenzene using Friedel-Crafts Acylation.
Q.6. Write down stepwise synthesis of Naphthalene using Haworth Reaction.
Q.7. Identify the products A and B in the following reaction. Also show resonance to show why these products are obtained.
Q.8. Explain the different behaviour of furan and substituted furans at different temperature.
