The Friedel-Crafts reaction is a class of organic chemical reactions used to introduce substituents (alkyl, acyl, etc.) into aromatic compounds, such as benzene and its derivatives.
Explanation:
⇒Friedel Craft Reaction-
- Benzaldehyde reacts with AlCl3 forms a intermediate [PhCHO(AlCl3)]+.
- Hydroxyl ion of the reactant attacks on the electrophilic centre of [PhCHO(AlCl3)]+ and forms another intermediate which undergoes cyclization to form 6-membered ring having 2° carbocation.
Conclusion:
The major product formed in the reaction is 4-chloro-2,6-diphenyloxane.
