Friedel-Crafts reactions
« on: February 11, 2009, 09:10:19 PM »


I have to input what the electrophile will be, I got the major product correct I though the electrophile would be a cyclopentane with a plus charge on one of the carbons ? However, I'm getting it wrong.

H2SO4 will undergo electrophilic addition on C=C double bond

so that the electrophile would be resonance form of +ve charge on double bond. (2 resonance hybrids)
