Q

Aromatic Ring

IUPAC Nomenclature

A

Number the substituents with their position number

30
Q

EAS

A

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution

Aromatic Ring = Nucleophile

Carbocation = Electrophile

** Look for absence of leaving group and strong Nucleophile **

31
Q

A

Reagents: Cl2 / AlCl3

Active Electrophile: Cl-Cl+ - AlCl3

32
Q

Bromination

A

Reagents: Br2 / FeBr3

Active Electrophile: Br-Br+-FeBr3

33
Q

Iodination

A

Reagents: 1/2 I2 / HNO3

Active Electrophile: I+

34
Q

Nitration

A

Reagents: HNO3 / H2SO4

Active Electrophile: O=N+=O

35
Q

Sulfonation

A

Reagents: SO3 / H2SO4

Active Electrophile: +SO4H

36
Q

Desulfonation

A

Reagents: H30+ / H2O / Δ

37
Q

Where do EDGs direct?

A

Ortho & Para

25x more reactive than benzene

Increases reaction rate

38
Q

What’s different about Anisole compared to toluene?

A

Anisole is 1000x more reactive than benzene because it has a resonance structure with all octects filled (4 instead of 3 res. structures)

39
Q

Where do EWGs direct?

A

Meta

** Avoids placing the carbocation next to the partial positive from the EWG **

Decelerates reaction rates

40
Q

EDGs Directing Strength

(Most to Least)

A
  • NH2
  • OH
  • OCH3
  • NHCOCH3

Alkyl / -CH3

-H

41
Q

Halides’s Directing Ability

A

Mildy Deactivating while Directing O/P

  • F
  • Cl
  • Br
  • I
42
Q

EWGs Directing Strength

(Most to Least)

A

Strongly Deactivating and Directs Meta

  • CHO
  • CO2H
  • OCCH3
  • SO3H
  • CN
  • NO2
  • +NR3
43
Q

What is unique about halides as directing groups?

A

They are EDGs, but because they’re:

Inductively deactivating (less polar bond)

+ Resonancely mildly activating (poor p-orbital overlap)

= Mild Deactivating while directing to O/P

44
Q

What is special about aniline and phenoxide?

A

Their by-products are more reactive than the original molecule, so they undergo overhalogenation and while substitube at all O/P positions

Aniline = needs buffer (NaHCO3)

Phenoxide = needs buffer (NaOH)

45
Q

Kobe-Schmitt Reaction

A

Importance: Commercial production of aspirin

Reagents: 1) NaOH / CO2, 2) HCl

Extra step for aspirin: 3) CCOOOCC (turns OH into -OR)

** Need to already have a hydroxy (-OH) group / phenoxide **

59
Q

How do you do alkylation without the carbocation rearrangment?

A

Do an acylation, then use a clemmensen reduction to get rid of the C=O
