  • This organic chemistry video tutorial provides the mechanism of the friedel crafts alkylation and acylation reaction which is a type of electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. This video contains plenty of examples and practice problems.
    Here is a list of topics:
    1. Friedel Crafts Alkylation Reaction
    2. Benzene, Tert-Butyl Chloride, and AlCl3 Lewis Acid Catalyst
    3. Tertiary Carbocation Intermediate Formation
    4. Nucleophile (Benzene) vs Electrophile (Carbocation)
    5. Methyl Chloride - No Carbocation Intermediate
    6. Fridel Crafts Alkylation Limitations - Polyalkylations, Strong Deactivating Groups, and Carbocation Rearrangements - Hydride Shifts
    7. Ortho Para Activators - Toluene and Xylene
    8. Other Carbocation Sources - Alkene + HF
    9. Friedel Crafts Acylation Mechanism - Acid Chloride
    10. Clemmensen and Wolff-Kishner Reduction.

    In case anyone was wandering like me: there is no inherent difference in the mechanism of Friedel Crafts Alkylation vs Acylation. The difference is one is the addition of a alkyl group and the other is the addition of an acyl group. In case you don’t know what that means (I didn’t lol!) an acyl group has a double bonded oxygen whereas an alkyl group does not. Good luck! And thanks for the upload man- this video helped me out tremendously.

      Michael Carnahan and you need an acid like HCl to get rid of the oxygen right?

      The difference is that an acyl group does not undergo rearangement, so if there is a product you need from alkylation, but the group would rearange, simply take an acyl group and after adding it to the ring, break the c=o bond with An acid as said in 17:29 and you are done 🤟🏻

    GREAT VIDEO......he always says something that makes me think. You could use the mozingo reduction also to get rid of the carbonyl after acylation. Also for F.C. acylation you need at least a stoichiometric amount of catalyst cause the catalyst form dative bonds forming complexes with carbonyl oxygens (their lone pair electrons) so the catalyst is not regenerated. Throwing some ice water in at the end of the reaction will break the adduct

  • @Encrylius
    @Encrylius 5 лет назад +9

    Vinyl halides and aryl halides do not react in Friedel-Crafts alkylation. B/C the carbocations derived from those halides are highly
    unstable and do not readily form. THANKS!

  • @TheMrAnnihilator

    You mentioned that NO2 will prevent alkylation from occurring, but what about acylation? Can acylation still occur via meta-addition if NO2 is present?

    • @minjyoo6807
      @minjyoo6807 6 лет назад +1

      No, it can not occur considering that a nitro group is an Electron Withdrawing group, a positive charge will be resonating. The alkylation is prevented from occurring because positive charge simply does not react with another positive charge. In the case of acylation, you are also forming a carbocation ('+' charge) which will not react like in the case of the alkylation reaction.
