Further organics Flashcards
delocalised model of benzene
the p-orbital of the 6 C overlap to form a delocalised π system.
Electron density
a representation of the probability of finding an electron at a specific point around an atom/ molecule.
electron-donating groups
donate e- into ring when attached to C and are 2,4 directing
define
electron withdrawing groups
groups which pull electron density away from ring, and 3 directing
Halogen carrier
A lewis acid that can bind to a halogen molecule, weakening the halogen bond to form a electrophile
What does phenol not react to?
Carbonates
Kekule’s Benzene Model
model of benzene which contains C=C and C-C bonds
3 evidence of the delocalised model
- bond length
- enthalpy change of hydrogenation
- resistance to reaction
3 steps to general electrophilic sub. of benzene
- generation of electrophile
- substitution
- catalyst reformation
Effect of addition reaction of benzene
- aromaticity is lost
- stability of the ring is lost
electrophile for nitration of benzene
NO2 +
Halogen carriers for halogenation of benzene
AlCl3
FeBr3
4 types of electrophilic substitution of benzene
- halogenation
- nitration
- Acylation (COCl)
- alkylation (CH3)
why is phenol more reactive than benzene
- greater charge density
- more suspetible to electrophile attack
Directing points
of electron-donating groups
2,4,6
Directing points of
electron-withdrawing groups
3
3 E.g. of electron-donating group
CH3 , OH , NH3
Eq. for
formation of Acyl chloride

Carboxylic acid +
How to make ester with phenol
acyl chloride
NOT carboxylic acid
What is acyl chloride more reactive than?
- acid anhydride
- COOH
- OH
4 reagents that reacts with
acyl chloride
state product as well …
+ Alcohol -> ester
+ water -> COOH
+ ammonia -> 1’ amine
+ 1’ amine -> amide
what is the product when
acid anhydride + alcohol
carboxylic acid
+ ester
