What electrophile is used for the bromination of benzene?
Br2 + Fe-Br3 = Br-Br+-Fe(-)-Br3.
What electrophile is used for the chlorination of benzene?
AlCl3 or FeCl3 + Cl2 = Cl-Cl+-Al(-)-Cl3.
What electrophile is used for the iodination of benzene?
HNO3 + H+ +1/2 I2 = I+ + NO2 + H2O.
What electrophile is used for the nitration of benzene?
HNO3 + H2SO4 = A benzene ring bonded to NO2 + H2O.
What electrophile is used for the sulfonation of benzene?

What is the Friedel Crafts reaction used for?
The Friedel Crafts reaction is used to turn benzene into a benzene with a hydrocarbon chain attached.

What is the electrophile in the Friedel Crafts reaction?
R-CH2 + -Cl+Al(-)-Cl3.
What are the steps of the Friedel Crafts reaction?
Electrophile is formed. Benzene ring attacks C+ and the Cl leaves. The aromaticity on the benzene ring is lost. To regain the aromaticity the chlorine comes back and removes the H thats bonded to the same C as the new hydrocarbon group. The double bond reforms and aromaticity is restored.

Can rearrangements happen in the Friedel Crafts reaction?
Yes.
What are benzylic hydrogens?
The hydrogens that are on the chain carbons that are attached to the benzene.
Which hydrogens does NBS or Br2 attack?
The benzylic hydrogens.
Which hydrogens doNBS or Br2 for attack?
Benzylic hydrogens close to the benzene ring.
If you react HNO3 with H2SO4 and a benzene ring, what products are formed?
A benzene ring with NO2 attached.
What does NBS look like?

Is aniline ortho, para or meta directing?
Ortho, para.
