thn wats da ans now!
is it ACYLATION/ACETYLATION
Toluene is treated with Cl-CH-CH2-COCl
l
CH3
in the presence of anhydrous AlCl3 The product formed is
Here friedel craft acylation will dominate or acetylation
ans is according to alkylation at p position will preceed acylation
Both are taking place But the problem is which of them will preceed
i mean........take place simultentously forming a single product...both ends joined to the ring
dont expect so much of toluene abhi [9][9]
after all its not so strong +R group
no no...
wen Cl leaves, C+ in c=o is less stable then c+ in -C-CH3-C=OCl [y pata hai shayad.. aurtype karne ki mood nahi hai :(]
dats y told this.....
wen there is no option for alkylation.... then acylation is only way!
