### Step-by-Step Text Solution for Friedel-Crafts Alkylation **Step 1: Understand the Reaction Conditions** Friedel-Crafts alkylation is a reaction that occurs between a benzene ring and an alkyl halide in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst, typically aluminum chloride (AlCl3). The alkyl halide can be any alkyl group, such as methyl chloride (CH3Cl) or ethyl chloride (C2H5Cl). **Hint:** Remember that a Lewis acid is a substance that can accept an electron pair, which is crucial for generating the electrophile in this reaction. --- ...
