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

Artemon [7]

Answer and explanation:

I believe that the most common reason for terrorism in any of its forms is terrorism caused by religious extremisms. Those who follow a belief so obsessively do not see anything beyond that, and everything outside of that belief is wrong and heresy. This affects the relationship that these supporters may have with the rest of the world and with people from their own community as well, which often concludes in violent terrorist acts since they believe that this is the way to put a limit on sinners. This type of terrorism is widely seen in the Middle East.
