Document Summary

Sulfonation of benzene: adds an so3h, to make a great electrophile, so3+so4h2 to make protonated so3h+ Then this proton reacts with the benzene to make an arenium ion. De-sulfonation: in diluted heated h2so4 will remove the sulfate group. Primaries can work too, but generally secondary and tertiary: mechanism. The halide (in this case cl) rips off some electrons from the r group and binds to the alcl3, making alcl4. leave behind a carbocation. This cation then attacks the benzene ring: friedel-crafts alkylation works as long as a cation is formed. Not with the acyl, but with the alkyl: if it can be more stable with rearrangement, then it will occur, if the ring is deactivated in any way, then reaction will not occur. The carbocation isn"t super strong, so can"t overcome the deactivated ring. Electron withdrawing elements deactivates a benzene ring: no2, nh2, n(ch3)3, cooh, etc. are all deactivators. Polyalkylations: toluene reacts more than benzene.
