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

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

external cause

Explanation:

Elaina is showing a common phenomenon in social psychology:

the attribution to external causes, which means that she assigns the cause of a happening to situations that are external to her, and rather than assessing her performance in terms of her inner characteristics.

She could have also <em>expressed how her feelings and state of mind at that time played a part, but instead, she is making external attributions, like "judges being unfair by giving her all harder words".</em>

The attribution theory in social psychology see how people try to point out to more causes that are in the surroundings or external, and often this influences their motivations and behaviour.

If people make inferences why others behave in a certain way and they refer to the outside then, we speak of external causes.

Social perception and self-perception can have internal, external causes and often we are advised to seek motivations in any of these ways.
