Overall transformation :  Ar-H to Ar-R

Named after Friedel and Crafts who discovered the reaction in 1877.

Reagent : normally the alkyl halide (e.g. R-Br or R-Cl) with aluminum trichloride, AlCl3, a Lewis acid catalyst.

The AlCl3 enhances the electrophilicity of the alkyl halide by complexing with the halide.

Electrophilic species : the carbocation (i.e. R +) formed by the "removal" of the halide by the Lewis acid catalyst

The reactive electrophile, the carbocation is prone to rearrangement to a more stable carbocation which will then undergo the alkylation reaction.



Friedel-Crafts reactions are limited to arenes as or more reactive than mono-halobenzenes

Other Lewis acids such as BF3, FeCl3 or ZnCl2 can also be used

Other sources of carbocations can also be used:

from loss of water from alcohols treated with acid such as H2SO4

from the protonation of alkenes by acid such as H2SO4

Alkylation products can also be obtained by the reduction of Friedel-Crafts acylation products

Open-source innovation has not revolutionized and software and biotech industries. It completely changes the way that we think about creativity. To do something new we don't have to do something new we an existing or emerging form, made available through access and do something new with them. This promotes democracy in the innovation game, with open source services against persons or groups or against field or endeavors. The new open-source landscape is a vastly fertile one, with countless possibilities for growth, but its vastness and freedom can also overwhelming.
