Friedel-Crafts alkylation can be difficult to control. What are some of the experimental methods that can be done to help control the reaction?

Show and label the mechanism for the SN1 reaction using the generic chemical species and electron movement. Notice that the reaction does not include a negative charge on the nucleophile.

The sodium iodide test is used to identify primary alkyl halides and it also takes place via a substitution reaction.Describe the test including the reactions that explain the full mechanism. Explain whether this reaction follows aSN1 or a SN2 mechanism.

Answer each question thoroughly nd completely. 1. Thoroughly explain why a halogen, X2 ,cannot be directly added to a benzene ring. 2. What properties does a benzene ring have that allude to its reactivity? 3. What is meant by aliphatic? 4. Explain the different types of oxidations for phenols. Give an example of each with the name of the phenol, and the oxidized phenol product. The examples should be drawn in chemical reaction form. 5. Are phenols reactive? Why or why not? 6. What is meant by an ortho director? Use a reaction as an example. 7. Why is the rate limiting step important in the bromination of benzene? 8. What role does the sigma complex play in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions? 9. How do Lewis acids play a role in generation of the electrophile? A mechanism will be needed to go along with your explanation. 10. Explain the nitration of benzene reaction. 11. What are deactivating groups, and how do they relate to substitution on the benzene ring? 12. What is the…

How does increasing base, solvent, or alkyl halide or aptly halide + base affect or decreasing them affect the reaction rate for e2/e1 and sn2/sn1? Please provide examples

In theory, there are only three inequivalent hydrogens in this molecule that could be substituted by Br in a free radical bromination – circle them. Put an asterisk to mark the one most likely to be substituted first.

Why is methanol chosen as the solvent for recrystallization? What would happen if the student uses dichloromethane instead? The reaction is Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution: Friedel-Crafts Alkylation. More info attached

Which substrate (or substrates) would not be good for a Friedel-Crafts reaction with AlCl3 as catalyst: ethyl bromide, chlorobenzene, allyl chloride, chlorocyclohexane
