Isn't that ethanone chloride?
- No, it is not ethanol chloride; it is not ethanone chloride. It is ethanoyl chloride based on the fact that it is a derivative of ethanoic acid, which is the IUPAC name for acetic acid. However, based on the name acetic acid, it is much more commonly called acetyl chloride, which I am redirecting to a stub of an article on I've just written, ethanoyl chloride.

According to my ochem book, the Cl (not the O) from the acyl halide attacks AlCl3 to form the acylium ion.
[edit] Mechanism of Friedel Crafts
NB: This mechanism is WRONG. It is the Chlorine lone pair that bonds to the AlCl3, NOT the oxygen. The Chlorine then leaves the carbon, leaving a positivly charged carbon atom, (RC+O) which undergoes nucleophilic attack from the aromatic ring. 143.167.2.191 13:14, 3 Feb 2008 (UTC)
