What is the major monosubstitution product from the Friedel-Crafts reaction of benzene with 1 -chloro-2-methylpropane in the presence of $\mathrm{AlCl}_{3} ?$
Added by Lorenzo H.
Step 1
First, we need to identify the electrophile in the reaction. In the presence of AlCl3, 1-chloro-2-methylpropane will form a carbocation by losing the chlorine atom. The carbocation formed will be a 2° carbocation (CH3-CH(+)-CH2-CH3). Show more…
