Which of the following is used as a catalyst in Friedel craft reaction?(a) cement(b) boron(c) anhydrous aluminium chloride(d) boraxI got this question during an internship interview.My doubt stems from p-Block Elements topic in chapter p-Block Elements of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

Right choice is (c) anhydrous aluminium chloride

For EXPLANATION I would say: Friedel CRAFTS reactions are the reactions in which substituents are added to the AROMATIC rings. There are two types of friedel craft reactions namely alkylation and acylation. Anhydrous aluminium chloride is used as a catalyst in these Friedel craft reactions.
