Yes but AlCl3 is a stronger lewis acid than FeCl3. Normally Friedel-Crafts reaction does not work very well with FeCl3 and has lower yield. Friedel-Crafts needs stronger lewis acid. The chlorination reaction works very well with AlCl3 but FeCl3 provides the same result with under milder condition.
I understand a lot better now. Thank You!
Glad it helped!
Sir in last example why we can't first undergo bromination instead of alkylation?
We can do that and it works perfectly.
Great video.
Btw, can FeCl3 and AlCl3 be used interchangeably?
