Q

EDG

A

-Electron donating group
-Stabilizes carbocation and speeds up EAS reaction
-Usually has an oxygen or nitrogen with a filled electron shell
-The lower electronegativity, the more readily the atom is to give up its electrons

Q

Rate of Diels-Alder reactions

A

-Increases with increasing number of EWGs on dienophile
-In order for the reaction to proceed, the diene must be able to access the s-cis conformation

Q

How to determine aromaticity

A
  1. molecule must be flat
  2. all atoms in the ring are sp2
    If neither are true then the molecule is nonaromatic
    If both are true then
  3. If the number of pi electrons is 4n then the molecule is antiaromatic
    If the number of pi electrons is 4n+2 then the molecule is aromatic
    If a frost cycle is made and orbitals are filled then the molecule is aromatic but if there are partially filled orbitals then it’s antiaromatic
    If the number of pi electrons divided by 2 is odd then it’s aromatic but if it’s even then it’s antiaromatic
