arenes and phenol and acyl chloride Flashcards
what are the propreties of benzene ?
1) all bond angles and length are equvialent
2) benzene is a symmetrical molecule
3) benzene is a basic frame work of sigma bond
4) benzene is hybrid between sigma and pi bond
why phenol is more readily then nitro benzene?
phenol is faster because it contains (OH) group that is electron donating group increase the electron charge density around benzene and makes it more reactive
why nitrobenzene is slower than phenol?
because it contains No2 group that is electron withdrawing group decrease the electron charge density around benzene and make it less reactive for electrophile
why acyl chloride is more polarized then alkyl choride/ aryl chloride ?
acyl chloride is highly polarized due to the 2 adjacent electro -negative elements so any nucleophile can attack easily
