Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a common method for synthesizing aromatic compounds?
  • Step 1: Understand what aromatic compounds are. They are special types of chemical compounds that have a ring structure with alternating double bonds.
  • Step 2: Learn about Friedel-Crafts alkylation. It is a chemical reaction that helps add new groups (alkyl groups) to the aromatic ring.
  • Step 3: Know that in Friedel-Crafts alkylation, an aromatic compound reacts with an alkyl halide in the presence of a catalyst, usually aluminum chloride.
  • Step 4: The result of this reaction is that the alkyl group is attached to the aromatic ring, creating a new aromatic compound.
