Interpretation:
The curved arrow mechanism for the reaction between benzene and cyclohexene is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The curved-arrow notation is used to show the transfer of electrons from one atom to another. The curved arrow has two barbs (head and tail) which represent the direction of electron flow.

Interpretation:
The curved arrow mechanism for the reaction between benzene and cyclohexanol is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The curved-arrow notation is used to show the transfer of electrons from one atom to another. The curved arrow has two barbs (head and tail) which represent the direction of electron flow.
The organic reaction in which substitution of an aromatic compound, in the presence of strong Lewis acid, takes place with the alkyl group is known as Friedel-Crafts alkylation.
