Name the major product of the following Friedel–Crafts alkylation reaction. All right, so here we have our benzene and we know we're still going to have benzene at the end. So we can redraw it. And we know that essentially what happens is one of the hydrogens on benzene gets substituted out with the alkyl group portion of my alkyl halid.
So here we have ethyl chloride and we have aluminum chloride as the catalyst. So here we're going to attach ethyl to my benzene. This would be my major product form and its name would be ethyl benzene.
So just remember with Friedel–Crafts alkylation, which you're substituting out an H and bringing in an alkyl group.
