Friedel Crafts Acylation of Benzene Reaction Mechanism

This organic chemistry video tutorial provides a basic introduction into the friedel crafts acylation reaction mechanism of benzene.  It explains how to add a ketone functional group to a benzene ring using an acid chloride and an AlCl3 lewis acid catalyst.  In addition, it explains how to reduce the ketone into an alkyl group using the clemmensen reduction reaction.
