Quiz 3. Flashcards
How do you add NO2 to benzene?
React benzene with HNO3 and H2SO4.
What is a diazonium compound?
A benzene ring that is bonded to a positive N which has a triple bond to another N.
How do we turn the Benzene bonded to NO2 into a diazonium compound?
React the benzene bonded to NO2 with NaNO2 and HCl.
How reactive are diazonium compounds?
Diazonium compounds are very reactive.
If K-I is reacted with a diazonium compound, what is the product?
A benzene ring bonded to an iodine.
If Cu-Br is reacted with a diazonium compound, what is the product?
A benzene ring bonded to an bromine.
If Cu-Cl is reacted with a diazonium compound, what is the product?
A benzene ring bonded to a chlorine.
If a phenol is reacted with a diazonium compound, what is the product?
Benzene-N=N-Benzene-OH.
If H3-P-O2 or Et-O-H is reacted with a diazonium compound, what is the product?
Benzene.
If H2O and H2SO4 at 100 degrees C is reacted with a diazonium compound, what is the product?
A phenol.
If Cu-C-N is reacted with a diazonium compound, what is the product?
A benzene bonded to a C-N
If H-B-F4 is reacted with a diazonium compound, what is the product?
A benzene bonded to a fluorine.
What are activators?
This is more likely to react than a benzene ring.
What are deactivators?
This is less likely to react than a benzene ring.
What are the activating groups?
What are the deactivating groups?
What are the ortho, para and meta substitution positions?
What are the ortho, para directing groups?
What are the meta directing groups?
What are the 3 steps to determining whether something is ortho, para or meta directing?
Look at all the substituents separately. Determine if its ortho, para or meta directing. Determine where addition goes.
What electrophile is used for the bromination of benzene?
Br2 + Fe-Br3 = Br-Br+-Fe(-)-Br3.
What electrophile is used for the chlorination of benzene?
AlCl3 or FeCl3 + Cl2 = Cl-Cl+-Al(-)-Cl3.
What electrophile is used for the iodination of benzene?
HNO3 + H+ +1/2 I2 = I+ + NO2 + H2O.
What electrophile is used for the nitration of benzene?
HNO3 + H2SO4 = A benzene ring bonded to NO2 + H2O.
What electrophile is used for the sulfonation of benzene?
Benzene + SO3 (electrophile) + H2SO4 = Benzene bonded to SO3H.
What is the Friedel Crafts reaction used for?
The Friedel Crafts reaction is used to turn benzene into a benzene with a hydrocarbon chain attached.
What is the electrophile in the Friedel Crafts reaction?
R-CH2 + -Cl+Al(-)-Cl3.
