Acyl halides bimolecular aromatic

The Friedel-Crafts reaction we have discussed in this section is an intermolecular reaction between an aromatic compound and an acyl halide. However, if the acyl halide also contains an aromatic ring, an intramolecular reaction can easily occur. Such a unimolecular reaction is favored over a bimolecular reaction when the ring formed contains either five or six atoms. This is a Friedel-Crafts reaction in which the acyl chloride acylates the ortho position.
