CHEM 3332 1st Edition Lecture 13Outline of Last Lecture Annulenes – monocyclic compounds with alternating double and single bonds- Aromatic/ antiaromatic/nonaromaticExamples:Aromatic ionsHeterocyclic Aromatic CompoundsExample: aromaticantiaromatic/nonaromatic? (Do we count the lone pair?)Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PNA’s or PAH’s) – fused benzene ringsNomenclature of Benzene Derivatives:I. MonosubstitutedA. IUPAC – named as abenzeme derivativeB. Common Names – You MUST know the common namea on p. 790 of WadeII. Disubstituted1. Number substituents2. B. Ortho, para, meta systemIII. Trisubstituted – must use numbersIV. Benzene ring as a substituent: General Guide – larger portion is parentSpectroscopy Summary (Benzene and Derivative)IR:1. Ring “skeletal” vibrations 2. CH stretching 3100-300 cm-13. CH out of plane bending 900-675 cm -1Characteristic of ring substitutionOutline of Current LectureChapter 17: Reactions of Aromatic CompoundsBenzene resists the electrophilic addition reactions common to alkenes and alkynesElectrophillic Aromatic Substitution: Benzene does react with electrophilesGeneral Mechanism:Step 1:Step 2:I. Halogenation A. Catalyst –B. MechanismStep 1Step 2Step 3II. NitrationA. CatalystThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.B. MechanismStep 1Step 2Step 3Step 4III. SulfonationA. E+ = SO3Pure H2SO4 contains a small amount of SO3-B. Mechanism:Step 1Step 2C. Desulfonation- All steps of sulfonation are reversible-position of EQ can be influenced by reaction conditionsSulfonation:Desulfonation:IV. Friedel – Crafts AlkylationA. CatalystB. E+ is a carbocationC. MechanismStep 1Step 2Step 3D. Other methods of generating the carbocation 1. Alkene + hydohalic acid (HF is best)2. Alcohol + BF3E. Limitations of F-C Alkylation1. Carbocations that can rearrange, will2. F-C reactions will not occur if strong electron withdrawing (deactivating) groups of either of two types are on the ring.a. Any deactivating group stronger than halogen b. Lewis acid-base adduct formed from amino groupsc. Polyalkylation is difficult to control, because alkyl group are activators V. Friedel-Crafts Acylation – solves some problems with F-C alkylationA. Synthesis of a necessary reagent – the acyl chlorideB. Generation of E+C. Advantages of acylation over alkylation1. Polyacylation is not a problem2. No C+ rearrangement, so F-C acylation is best method for synthesizing unbranched alkylbenzenesD.
