EAS reactions Flashcards
Mechanism in EAS:
- electrophile reagent + catalyst
- The more reactive electrophile attacks aromatic ring – formation of sigma complex or stabilized carbocation
- Loss of proton – regeneration of pi bonds and aromatic ring
Mechanism in EAS:
- electrophile reagent + catalyst
- The more reactive electrophile ATTACKED BY aromatic ring – formation of sigma complex or stabilized carbocation
- Loss of proton – regeneration of pi bonds and aromatic ring

E reagent prepared by sulfuric acid H2SO4 w/ nitric acid HNO3 to form the Ereagent nitronium ion electrophile.
Product: Nitrobenzene
Formation of Aminobenze
Reaction with Zn, tin Sn, or Fe in dilute acid like HCl forms amino benzene
Sulfonation:
- Electrophilic reagent
- Catalyst
- product
SO3
H2SO4
Benzenesulofnic acid
Friedel–Crafts Alkylation:
- Electrophilic reagent
- Catalyst
- product
Alkyl halide (C-X) AlCl3 lewis acid which produces the carbocation = electrophile
Product depend on the alkyl halide
Friedel–Crafts Acylation:
- Electrophilic reagent
- Catalyst
- product
Carbocation from C-X + Lewis acid = Acylium ion (RC--O) AlCl3 Phenyl Ketone (RCR)
Alkylation by Protonation of Alkenes
Alkene is protonated by?
HF, hydroflouride. Weak nucleophile and will not react to the carbocation.
Protonation of Alcohol
Catalyst?
Product
H2SO4 = Electrophile used is carbocation CH3CH2 protonated C
