  1. Chapter 17 Aromatic Substitution Reactions OrgChem-Chap17

  2. 17.1 Mechanism for Electricphilic Aromatic Substitution Arenium ion resonance stabilization OrgChem-Chap17

  3. Example 1. Example 2. OrgChem-Chap17

  4. Example 2. Mechanism of the nitration of benzene OrgChem-Chap17

  5. Addition reaction vs.Electrophilic aromatic substitution OrgChem-Chap17

  6. Stability Ga < Gs Bezene is very stable so it is very diificult to break the resonance stabilization OrgChem-Chap17

  7. Is the addition reaction possible for a benzene ? Very difficult because of the stability of the product resonance stabilization OrgChem-Chap17

  8. 17.2 Effect of Substituent 17 times faster than the substitution of benzene Why ? Resonance stabilization OrgChem-Chap17

  9. Ortho attack Meta attack Para attack Meta and para attack is favored CH3 is an ortho/para directing group OrgChem-Chap17

  10. Nitration of anisole (methoxy benzene) 10,000 times faster than the substitution of benzene Why ? Resonance stabilization OrgChem-Chap17

  11. The effect of methoxy group • Inductive effect, • then as the oxygen is electronegative Methoxy is deactivating group not true • 2. Resonance effect explanation is possible • This is what scientists are doing, you also should have this attitude, then find reasons. Otherwise no result at all. Therefore, any group that has an unshared pair of electrons is the ortho/para director OrgChem-Chap17

  12. Nitration of nitrobenzene 1. 1017 times slower than the substitution of benzene 2. meta director OrgChem-Chap17

  13. OrgChem-Chap17

  14. Until now, Activating group (elecron donating group): ortho/para director Deactivationg group (elecron withdrawing group): meta dircectot Exception: Halogens, ortho/para derector + deactivating group 1. 17 times slower than the substitution of benzene 2. ortho/para director OrgChem-Chap17

  15. F is highly electronegative, therefore inductive withdrawing effect is stronger than the resonance effect Cl, Br, and I are not very electronegative, while the resonance effect is not strong enough as the methoxy Because the overlapping netween 2p AO of carbon and 3p(Cl), 4p(Br), 5p(I) AOs are not good. (2p AO for oxygen) Still halogens are ortho/para director because there is the resonance effect although it is much weaker. Nose ring theory ! Accurate experiment results are most important ! OrgChem-Chap17

  16. Two ortho positions and one para position, therefore statistically the ratio or ortho to para products should be 2 to 1, Which is generally true! (nitration of toluene) Steric effect ! OrgChem-Chap17

  17. See P 680 OrgChem-Chap17

  18. 17.3 Effect of Multiple Substituent Methyl group controls the regiochemistry, because methyl group is a strong activating group Rule:Groups that are closer to the top of Table 17.1 controls the regiochemistry! OrgChem-Chap17

  19. 17.4 Nitration OrgChem-Chap17

  20. Preparation of NO2+ OrgChem-Chap17

  21. A problem occurs with amino substitution N with unpaired electrons looks like a activating group and o/p director. But under acidic condition it can be protonated, then deactivating group and m director. Although the amine (strong activating group) conc. is very low, 18% is para product! OrgChem-Chap17

  22. Amide group: much less basis, still activator and o/p director Example, OrgChem-Chap17

  23. 17.5 Halogenation Mechanism Same as the nitration Resonance stabiliztion, Activating group faciliate the reaction + AlCl3 + HCl OrgChem-Chap17

  24. OrgChem-Chap17

  25. 17.6 Sulfonation Fuming sulfuric acid OrgChem-Chap17

  26. Mechanism OrgChem-Chap17

  27. 17.7 Friedel-Craft Alkylation OrgChem-Chap17

  28. Mechanism of the Friedel-Craft Alkylation OrgChem-Chap17

  29. Drawbacks • The alkyl groups that is added to the ring is an activated group: a large amount of products w/ two or more alkyl groups • Aromatic compound w/ strongly deactivating groups cannot be alkylated. • Rearrangement Because OrgChem-Chap17

  30. Other ways to generate carbocations Strong acid, TsOH, can eliminate water, then CH3-ph-CH2+ can be generated Other examples Lewis acid is used OrgChem-Chap17

  31. Synthetic detergents OrgChem-Chap17

  32. BHT and BHA are anti oxidant added to food prepared by Friedel-Crafts alkylation reactions OrgChem-Chap17

  33. 17.8 Friedel-Craft Acylation Generation of acyl cation OrgChem-Chap17

  34. Drawback: like the alkylation, this reaction does not work with strongly deactivated substrates (m directors) Examples OrgChem-Chap17

  35. Examples OrgChem-Chap17

  36. 17.9 Electrophilic Substitution of Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds Why the 1 position is preferred? OrgChem-Chap17

  37. Containing stable benzene ring Containing stable benzene ring OrgChem-Chap17

  38. 17.10 Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution; Diazonium ion OrgChem-Chap17

  39. Examples OrgChem-Chap17

  40. 17.11 Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution; Addition-Elimination OrgChem-Chap17

  41. Mechanism Not SN2 but Addition-Elimination OrgChem-Chap17

  42. The order of leaving group ability Examples OrgChem-Chap17

  43. 17.12 Nucleophilic Aromati Substitution; Elimination-Addition When there is no electron withdrawing group at o/p position, then elimination-addition occurs with very strong base (amide anion) or with weak base at high temperature OrgChem-Chap17

  44. Mechanism OrgChem-Chap17

  45. Benzyne The existence of benzyne OrgChem-Chap17

  46. 17.13 Some Additional Useful Reactions Reduction of nitro group to amine using hydrogen and a catalyst or by using acid and a metal (Fe, Sn, or SnCl2) Application OrgChem-Chap17

  47. Reduction of carbonyl group (aldehyde or ketone) to a methylene group 1. Clemmenson reduction 2. Wolff-Kishner reduction 3. Catalytic hydrogenation OrgChem-Chap17

  48. H2/Pt reduction vs Wolff-Kishner and Clemmenson reduction • H2/Pt works for the carbonyl attached to the aromatic ring • Wolff-Kishner and Clemmenson reduction do not have this restriction Oxidation of alkyl groups bonded to the aromatic ring If the carbon bonded to the ring is not tertiary OrgChem-Chap17

  49. 17.14 Synthesis of Aromatic Compound OrgChem-Chap17

  50. Preparation of m-chlorobenzene and p-chlorobenzene Preparation of o-bromophenol OrgChem-Chap17
