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.
