Calculate the theoretical yield, in grams, of 4-methoxyacetophenone that can be produced in this experiment. Record your result here and in your laboratory notebook. Acylation of Anisole In this experiment, 4-methoxyacetophenone is synthesized in a Friedel- Crafts acylation of anisole with acetic anhydride, as shown in Equation 9. Because aluminum chloride forms complexes with both the ketone product and the acetic acid byproduct, more than two equivalents of aluminum chloride are required for the reaction.
