Friedel crafts reaction
« on: April 09, 2015, 02:37:52 PM »
c1ccccc1 + ClC(=O)C(C)(C)C + Aluminium trichloride  :rarrow:ClC(=O)c1ccc(cc1)C(C)(C)C

Ok I'm having a problem with the mechanism for this reaction. By the looks of it the tertiary butyl group must add first in order to activate the ring towards further attack. But I can't see how the acyl chloride group can act as a leaving group?

Can anyone help with the initial parts of the mechanism for this reaction?

Thanks

Well you got your product wrong, it should be tert-butyl-phenyl ketone
