Friedel-Craft alkylation reaction:
When the benzene reacts with an alkyl halide in presence of Lewis acid catalyst alkyl benzene is formed. The reaction follows an aromatic electrophilic substitution reaction mechanism. The reaction completes in two steps. In the first, the electrophilic adds to the benzene to give arenium ion intermediate. This step is a slow and rate-determining step. In the second step of the reaction, a proton is removed from the arenium ion and the aromaticity is regenerated.
