i need to make an equation to find the final product when tert-butyl chloride is mixed with 4.7 g of phenol. Then aluminum chloride is added and it solidified. Water was added and then it was filtrated. Could someone give a hint about how the reaction should go. It's hard to understand it in the textbook, is their a simple way to learn it.

do you get
C6H5OH + C4H9Cl
C10H14O + HCl
the AlCl3 is the catalyst above the arrow.
should the final product be like C6H4CH(CH3)
3
your supposed to get something maybe like m-tert-butyl phenol or p-tert-butylphenol

My friend, what kind of a director is OH? (hint: draw resonance structures after added the t-butyl but not restoring aromaticity yet), if you follow the mechanism you can see what you should have in the end.
