Friedel-Craft-Alkylation

The lewis acid-catalysed reaction of an alkyl halide[?] with an aromatic ringsystem is called Friedel-Craft-Alkylation.

This reaction has one big disadvantage, the product is more nucleophilic than the reactand due to the electron donating alkylchain. So another hydrogen is substituted with an alkylchain. This leads to product mixtures.
