draw the intermediate that is formed when anthracene attacks the acylium ion that is formed by aluminum chloride and acetyl chloride
CHsCOCI, AIC CHCl3, 0 °C Figure 1. The reaction you will perform in session 1 re-Lab Task (Session 1): 1.) Draw the intermediate that is formed when anthracene attacks the acylium ion that is formed by aluminum chloride and acetyl chloride. acylium ion if one of the external rings of anthracene were substituted. acylation? W much as for benzene.) 2.) Draw the intermediate that would be formed upon the attack of anthracene upon the 3.) Based on anthracene, how many equivalents of aluminum chloride are you using? Why? 4.) Would you expect anthracene to react faster than naphthalene in a Friedel-Crafts ould you expect anthracene to react faster or slower than Chrysene? xplain. (Hint: The aromatic stabilization in a polyaromatic hydrocarbon decreases for each additional ring - i.e. that aromatic stabilization in naphthalene is less than twice as 5.)
