This organic chemistry video tutorial provides the mechanism of the friedel crafts alkylation and acylation reaction which is a type of electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. This video contains plenty of examples and practice problems.

Here is a list of topics:
1. Friedel Crafts Alkylation Reaction
2. Benzene, TertButyl Chloride, and AlCl3 Lewis Acid Catalyst
3. Tertiary Carbocation Intermediate Formation
4. Nucleophile (Benzene) vs Electrophile (Carbocation)
5. Methyl Chloride No Carbocation Intermediate
6. Fridel Crafts Alkylation Limitations Polyalkylations, Strong Deactivating Groups, and Carbocation Rearrangements Hydride Shifts
7. Ortho Para Activators Toluene and Xylene
8. Other Carbocation Sources Alkene + HF
9. Friedel Crafts Acylation Mechanism Acid Chloride
10. Clemmensen and WolffKishner Reduction.
