Friedel Crafts Alkylation of Benzene Reaction Mechanism - Tons of Examples!

This organic chemistry video tutorial provides a basic introduction into the friedel crafts alkylation reaction. It explains how to add an alkyl group such as an ethyl group or a tert-butyl group to a benzene ring. It discusses the limitations of the friedel crafts alkylation reaction such as polyalkylation, no reactivity with strongly deactivating groups, and carbocation rearrangements. It also discusses how to convert benzene into propyl benzene using the friedel crafts acylationn reaction followed by the clemmensen reduction.

you helped me pass organic chemistry one and now helping me pass organic chemistry 2. Absolute legend right here

[shenjiebao]

Imagine that Tutor could reply to any question you post. Bruh, he will be a GOD. No university need :)

[thecasualchemist]

Definitely one of the best and most thorough videos on this subject. Well done, sir!

[ankitaroy]

Thanks a lot! This so helpful. The explanations of the reaction mechanisms were so good. You explained it so well that at the end of the vid, I figured out the reaction mechanism of the last reaction!!! Thanks a ton!

[whythelongface]

Thanks for your help sir. It's a great privilege for those of us who are struggling to afford tuitions.

[shenjiebao]

Not only Tons of Examples, but also more advanced knowledge! UR the BEST!

[mariamejaz]

Thank you so much sir...your videos are very helpful for me .. JazaqAllah good 👍🏻😌👍🏻

at 18:35, why is one of the fluorine atoms attacking the H atom forming HF and HOBF3 as the side products, rather than oxygen attacking the H atom forming water and BF3 as the side products? Is it because Fluorine is more reactive than oxygen?

20:34 theres other way : benzene halogenation to X-Benzene then use gilmant reagent (propyl-CuLi)
:// correct me if iam wrong

[gnwbhtb]

The thumbnail itself cleared my doubt 😀

[orenthedoc]

I want to set you up with my gf, man you're a legend!

[chillingwithceleste]

So for the first example how come the terbutochloride not become an isopropyl when attaches to the benzene? I thought the little Cl branch would go away ?

What are the steps to solve the preparation of 3-chloro-4-methylphenol from benzene

[JohnSmith-qpbt]

Is this AlCl3 catalyst a homogeneous catalyst, thus applied in a batch reactor? If it was a heterogenous catalyst system in a fixed bed reactor, then possibly easier to remove the initial product from the reactor before it gets into the unwanted poly-alkylation?

Does rxn occurs when nitrobenzene reacted with acyl halide in presence of AlCl3

[nutbreaker]

Is it that if you use solute that will dissolve all reagents, those other bonds will not be formed, or
at least side-reactions are minimised? I read today about that ... but that aluminum trichloride is only slightly soluble in non-polar solvents.
What is good solute to this? Exept that Nitrobenzene or Benzene, that is hard to get or be done around here where i live.
Can I use Xylene? Or did I get it wrong about solution? Because I want to do it for Toluene and chloroacetone with AlCl3?
Was it, that it meaned that you use that solute that you want to alkylate with chloroacetone, so toluene? Or, did i messed up here? :)

[mahfuzaahmed]

alkylation on nitrobenzene can’t occur at all???

[Idk-bwib]

when jumanas panopto vidoes aint helping

[SuperRadkov]

Может хватит рисовать надо наглядно и пропорции озвучивать
