Friedel-Crafts Acylation and Alkylation

In 1877, C.Friedel and J.M. Crafts reacted amyl chloride with aluminum pieces in benzene, forming amyl benzene. The reaction of alkyl halides with benzene was found to be general, and aluminum chloride (AlCl3) was identified as the catalyst.

Hunsdiecker Reaction

In 1861, Russian chemist Alexander Borodin prepared methyl bromide from silver acetate in a combined decarboxylation and halogenation reaction. Building on this work in 1939, German chemists Cläre and Heinz Hunsdiecker demonstrated that when silver salts of carboxylic acids react with a halogen, an...
