Homework Help: Chemistry

Posted by Jenny on Thursday, March 1, 2012 at 4:58pm.

I was wondering if anyone could describe a general Friedel-Crafts alkylation to me. I understand that it involves the substitution of an aromatic ring with an alkyl group using a strong Lewis acid catalyst. But, what types of activating groups are present on the ring? What's the position of substitution? And what types of electrophiles are used?

No one has answered this question yet.
