Abstract

The alkylations of aromatic compounds in presence of protonic acids yield two alkylated products arising from attack of a nucleophile (hard or soft) at two different carbocation (hard or soft) centers of a single compound. Hybrid density functional theory at B3LYP/6-31G* and B3LYP/6-31G levels and semiempirical calculations are employed to explain the observed trends in Friedel-Crafts reaction. Local HSAB principle based on local softness values explains the observed experimental reactivities.
