Friedel-Crafts reactions are a set of chemical reactions developed by Charles Friedel and James Crafts in 1877, which are widely used in the field of organic chemistry for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. These reactions are primarily divided into two types: Friedel-Crafts alkylation and Friedel-Crafts acylation. Both types involve the use of a catalyst to facilitate the formation of a new carbon-carbon bond.
