Chapter 17.16B, Problem 17.46P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The validation corresponding to the fact that the synthesis of methylbenzenesulfonicacid using Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzenesulfonic acid is successful or not is to be predicted. The alternative synthesis is to be proposed in the case of an unsuccessful reaction.

Concept introduction:

Friedel-Crafts alkylation permits the synthesis of alkylated products by the reaction of arenes with alkyl chlorides in the presence of aluminium chloride (Lewis acid). This alkylation reaction comes under the category of electrophilic aromatic substitution.

provide a possible synthesis for the following reaction
To synthesize m-ethylbenzenesulfonic acid, a student attempted the Friedel–Crafts alkylation of benzenesulfonic acid with bromoethane. Do you predict that this reaction was successful? If not, propose an alternative synthesis.
Please explain the synthesis. Identify SN1, SN2, E1, E2, nucleophiles and ekectrophiles.
