定义Definition
傅-克酰基化是芳烃在 AlCl₃ 等路易斯酸作用下与酰氯或酸酐反应,在芳环上引入酰基生成芳基酮的亲电取代反应。
Friedel–Crafts acylation installs an acyl group on an arene with an acyl chloride or anhydride and a Lewis acid such as AlCl₃, giving an aryl ketone by electrophilic substitution.
机理与优点Mechanism and advantages
AlCl₃ 夺取酰氯的氯,生成被共振稳定的酰基正离子 R–C≡O⁺(不重排)。芳环进攻、失去质子得芳基酮。酰基吸电子使产物钝化,不会多酰基化——这两点正好弥补了傅–克烷基化的缺陷。
AlCl₃ abstracts chloride to form a resonance-stabilised acylium ion R–C≡O⁺, which does not rearrange. Ring attack and deprotonation give the aryl ketone, whose acyl group deactivates the ring against further acylation — fixing two flaws of the alkylation.
催化剂用量Catalyst loading
产物酮的羰基与 AlCl₃ 形成稳定络合物,所以需要略多于化学计量的 AlCl₃,后处理需加水(冰酸)分解络合物。现代绿色工艺使用沸石、金属三氟甲磺酸盐或离子液体作可回收催化剂。
The ketone binds AlCl₃ strongly, so slightly more than one equivalent is needed and work-up with ice/acid breaks the complex. Greener processes use zeolites, metal triflates or ionic liquids as recyclable catalysts.
应用Applications
合成芳酮(苯乙酮、二苯甲酮)、布洛芬工业路线(BHC 法,以 HF 为催化剂和溶剂对异丁苯乙酰化);分子内酰基化成环(如合成茚酮、四氢萘酮);与克莱门森或沃尔夫–基斯纳还原联用制直链烷基苯。
Aryl ketones (acetophenone, benzophenone), the BHC ibuprofen route (HF-catalysed acetylation of isobutylbenzene), intramolecular cyclisations (indanones, tetralones), and straight-chain alkylbenzenes after Clemmensen or Wolff–Kishner reduction.
