This organic chemistry video tutorial provides a basic introduction into the friedel crafts alkylation reaction. It explains how to add an alkyl group such as an ethyl group or a tertbutyl group to a benzene ring. It discusses the limitations of the friedel crafts alkylation reaction such as polyalkylation, no reactivity with strongly deactivating groups, and carbocation rearrangements. It also discusses how to convert benzene into propyl benzene using the friedel crafts acylationn reaction followed by the clemmensen reduction.
