CHEM 3332 1st Edition Lecture 15Outline of Last Lecture I. 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. Gatterman-Koch Formlyation: The Proper Synthesis of BenzaldehdeReactions of Substituted BenzenesHow does a substituent on the benzene ring affect the 5 EAS reactions?I. Reactivity (rxn rate): 2 types of substituents causes ring to be more reactive than beforeII. Orientation of the incoming group: 2 types of substituents: ortho/para directorsException: halogens, O/POutline of Current Lecture Substituents as Activators/DeactivatorsHow do substituents affect reactivity?An electron releasing substituent:An electron withdrawing substituentThe electron withdrawl takes place in two ways:I. Inductive: differences in the electronegativities of the atoms-CH3-CLII.
