Q

NMR coupling

A

double peak on one signal, when nearby protons have a magnetic field that affect effective magnetic field. Number of peaks depends on the number of protons that are nearby and unique combinations of their spins

Q

friedel crafts alkylation mechanism

A

for CH3Cl and 1 degree RCl, the Lewis acid-base complex itself serves as the electrophile for electrophilic aromatic substitution
* with 2 and 3 degree RCl, the Lewis acid-base complex reacts further to give a 2 or 3 degree carbocation, which serves as the electrophile; carbocation formation occurs only with 2 and 3 degree alkyl chlorides because they afford more stable carbocations
