Applications of Aluminum Chloride in Friedel–Crafts Reactions
July 28, 2026 •Aluminum chloride (AlCl₃) is one of the most important Lewis acid catalysts in modern organic chemistry. For decades, it has been widely used in Friedel–Crafts alkylation and Friedel–Crafts acylation reactions, enabling the production of numerous chemical intermediates used in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, fragrances, dyes, polymers, and petrochemical products. As industries continue to seek higher reaction efficiency
