Problems 8 and 9. Which reagent/catalyst is the best choice for the following reaction(s)? B. Wo will skip cross -coupling - synthebically important (Nobel prize winning work) but mechanisticaly orthogonal to eloctrophilc and nucleophilic aromatc subst I had planned on adding this (not in Chap 21 but in a lator chaper) but f wilf now onty mention it in class at best - it will nor be on the exam 10. The following reaction is called the Fries rearrangement and involves a Lewis or protic acid. Some years ago, a former TAMU PhD working for Hoechst-Celanese developed a version of this reaction that won a EPA Green Chemistry award. In this reaction... A. The process used stoichiometric amounts of AlCl3 as a reagent B. The process used highly toxic but recyclable HF as the solvent and catalyst C. The process used acetic acid as the reagent D. The process used non-recyclable fuming sulfuric acid (SO3 in H2SO4) as the solvent/catalyst
