The reaction given below is an example of Firedel craft  alkylation reaction.In number of cases of Friedel – crafts alkylation the final product is found to contain a rearranged alkyl group. Generally with stronger Lewis acid product is rearranged due to enough polariazation of complex while with weak Lewis acid no such effect is observed. Temperature also favoures rearranged product.What is electrophile in give reaction?
