Aromatic Hydrocarbons PPT Flashcards
is the generic term for an aromatic hydrocarbon
Arene
is derived by removal of a hydrogen
Aryl group
Aromatic compounds undergo what kind of reaction
Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution
draw the halogenation reaction and its reactants
grade yourself accordingly
draw the nitration reaction and its reactans
grade yourself accordingly
has a full or positive charge
electrophile
draw the sulfonation reaction and its needed reactants
Aromatic compounds undergo
draw the friedel crafts alkylation
grade yourself accordingly
draw the friedel crafts acylation
grade yourself accordingly
In step 1 of the mechanism, the electrophile reacts with two p electrons
from the aromatic ring to form a what
arenium ion
In step 2, a wha is removed and the aromatic system is regenerated
proton
generation of arenium ion is what kind of rxn
endothermic
The first step requires the loss of aromaticity of the very stable benzene ring, which is highly unfavorable
thus the first step is rate ____
determining
second step wherein the ring gains it aromatic substitution is highly
exothermic
which has a larger DG‡, first or second step
first step
The ring regains its aromatic stabilization, a highly favorable/unfavorable process
favorable
Halogenation of benzene requires the presence of a what
Lewis acid
A special apparatus is used to perform this reaction
fluorination
occurs so rapidly it is hard to stop at
monofluorination of the ring
fluorination
is so unreactive that an alternative method must be used
iodine
draw the iodination reaction
grade yourself accordingly
in nitration, the nitric acid can dissociate to form a what
nitronium ion
is the actual electrophile in nitration; it reacts with benzene to form a resonance-stabilized arenium ion
nitronium ion
Sulfonation occurs most rapidly using what
fuming sulfuric acid
