EAS Series: Video 3
This video will start by showing you a quick comparison of alkene halogenation versus aromatic halogenation: bromination and chlorination. This video will show you the aromatic halogenation mechanism from the role of the Lewis Acid catalyst and formation of the super-electrophile, through the entire mechanism of adding halogen to benzene. Also shown is a break down of the reaction mechanism for aromatic halogenation using Cl2 with the Lewis acid catalyst AlCl3.

Can halogenation happen more than once on the same benzene ring. (ex. adding two bromines to the same ring).
Life savior! Thank you
can the same stuff you explained about AlCl3 be applied also to AlBr3 ??
love your videos thank you so much!!
Extremely useful, I’m glad that I found ur video!
I was on the verge of losing hope XD
keep up this good work and I really salute u on all the other videos not only that one!
Hello!
Why did Chlorine attached to the AlCl_3 take the carbocation in the first place?
