Question

The chlorination of benzene can be carried out by allowing benzene to react with $\mathrm{Cl}_{2}$ in the presence of $\mathrm{AlCl}_{3} .$ As discussed on page $1305, \mathrm{Cl}_{2}$ and $\mathrm{AlCl}_{3}$ react to form $\mathrm{Cl}^{+} \mathrm{AlCl}_{4}^{-}$. Sketch the reaction profile for the reaction of benzene and $\mathrm{Cl}^{+} \mathrm{AlCl}_{4}^{-}$. Use the same assumptions as in Exercise 35.

Name: The chlorination of benzene can be carried out by allowing benzene to react with Cl2 in the presence of AlCl3 . As discussed on page 1305, Cl2 and AlCl3 react to form Cl^+AlCl4^-. Sketch the reaction profile for the reaction of benzene and Cl^+AlCl4^-. Use the same assumptions as in Exercise 35.

The chlorination of benzene can be carried out by allowing benzene to react with $mathrm{Cl}_{2}$ in the presence of $mathrm{AlCl}_{3} .$ $mathrm{Cl}_{2}$ and $mathrm{AlCl}_{3}$ react to form $mathrm{Cl}^{+} mathrm{AlCl}_{4}^{-}$. Sketch the reaction profile for the reaction of benzene and $mathrm{Cl}^{+} mathrm{AlCl}_{4}^{-}$. Use the same assumptions as in Exercise 35.
