A student tried to produce 3-propylbenzenesulfonic acid from benzenesulfonic acid and 1-chloropropane through the Friedel-Crafts alkylation.Is this a feasible reaction to get the desired compound? If not, suggest an alternative synthesis.
Friedel–Crafts alkylation suffers from overalkylation.
i. Identify the product of the reaction below considering overalkylation
ii. What makes it difficult to control and add only one alkyl group?
