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

How does the Government in Ancient Sparta affect people’s lives?
Helga [31]

Answer:

Unlike such Greek city-states as Athens, a center for the arts, learning and philosophy, Sparta was centered on a warrior culture. Male Spartan citizens were allowed only one occupation: soldier. Indoctrination into this lifestyle began early. Spartan boys started their military training at age 7, when they left home and entered the Agoge. The boys lived communally under austere conditions. They were subjected to continual physical, competitions (which could involve violence), given meager rations and expected to become skilled at stealing food, among other survival skills.

In 371 B.C., Sparta suffered a catastrophic defeat at the hands of the Thebans at the Battle of Leuctra. In a further blow, late the following year, Theban general Epaminondas (c.418 B.C.-362B.C.) led an invasion into Spartan territory and oversaw the liberation of the Messenian Helots, who had been enslaved by the Spartans for several centuries. The Spartans would continue to exist, although as a second-rate power in a long period of decline. In 1834,Otto (1815-67), the king of Greece, ordered the founding of the modern-day town of Sparti on the site of ancient Sparta.

What did John Kerry believe were the results of Nixon's policies as spelled out in the Silent Majority” speech?
kvasek [131]
He was questioning the war policies of President Nixon. He also pointed that the silent majority doesn't mean that they are pro-war. Some are actually war veterans and veteran families who experienced the trauma and hardships of the war. He argued that the Congress does not really present the people and give legislations that are not real answers to end the war.

Identify the communication climate of an important interpersonal relationship using weather metaphors like "sunny, gloomy, rainy
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The communication climate of an important interpersonal relationship must be generally warm, the other person must feel the tranquility of a clear sky and a cozy love like the summer sun next to us, no matter if his soul is hurt and constantly feels sad as a rainy day, or if her gloomy past overwhelms her and makes her feels insecure, since the time she spends with us must feel really cozy, in such a way that she never wants to leave, like that occasion <u>we first went to the beach and we were struck by the sand, the sea, the sun, and we would have never wanted to leave</u>.

Explanation:

In the text on the communication climate, I have used some of the recommended words (which are in bold) and added an allegory at the end in reference to the feeling the person must have with us. In particular, <u>positive keywords must be associated with heat</u>, which is why quite a lot of terms such as sun, warm, and summer were used.
