Succinic anhydride can be used to produce naphthalene when this reaction is followed by reduction of a ketoacid, and then a second repetition of this reaction. Two rings couple in a variation of this reaction used in the Haworth synthesis. The Scholl reaction is a variant of this reaction, and in the prelude to another of its variants, carbon monoxide and hydrochloric acid react in the presence of copper (I) chloride, before they then react with an arene. It is used in the (*) Gatterman-Koch Reaction. Carbocations form after a catalyst such as iron(III) chloride or aluminum(III) chloride cause

It is used in the (*) Gatterman-Koch Reaction. Carbocations form after a catalyst such as iron(III) chloride or aluminum(III) chloride causes the double bond of an unhindered aromatic ring to grab an electrophile. Commonly performed on benzene, it requires a Lewis acid and is an electrophilic aromatic substitution. For ten points, name this doubly eponymous reaction, which comes in alkylation and acylation varieties.
