Summary of all the mechanisms http://worksheets.joechem.io/worksheets/EAS-Mechanisms.pdf In this video, we look at a bunch of EAS reactions (aka adding stuff to benzene rings). The mechanisms covered in this video are: Chapters: 0:00 Intro 1:44 Cl2/AlCl3 6:20 Br2/FeBr3 10:24 HNO3/H2SO4 15:40 SO3/H2SO4 19:31 Friedel Crafts Alkylation 24:50 Friedel Crafts Acylation I included them all in ONE video because I wanted to highlight how SIMILAR all of the mechanisms are. But the order above^ is how they appear in the video.
