  4. Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons Isolated rings (1) Biphenyl Nomenclature 4

  5. Homework: Give name for the following compounds

  6. (1) Biphenyl Synthesis (a) Fittig’s reaction (b) Gattermann reaction (c) Gomberg reaction More examples

  7. (d) Ullmann coupling reaction More examples (e) Benzidine rearrangement

  8. (1) Biphenyl Reactions Although –NO2 is m-directing group, p-O2NC6H4 is p-directing!! According to the charge distribution approach, a p-nitro group would have been expected to direct to the m-position in the other ring.

  9. (1) Biphenyl Reactions However, the stabilities of the carbocation intermediates generated following o- and p-substitutions are greater than that generated from m-substitution due to the greater dispersal of charge in the former substitutions. Therefore, o-and p-substitutions are preferred.

  20. Homework: Give names for the following compounds 20

  21. DAMIETTA UNIVERSITY LECTURE 3 Dr Ali El-Agamey CHEM-323: Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbon 21

  22. Aromatic character of naphthalene, anthracene and phenanthrene Naphthalene, anthracene and phenanthrene are classified as aromatic because of their properties, which resemble those of benzene. (i) Experimental point of view • Undergo electrophilic substitution reactions. • Like benzene, they are unusually stable as indicated from their low heats of hydrogenation and combustion. 22

  23. Resonance Energy 23

  24. Aromatic character of naphthalene, anthracene and phenanthrene • Resonance energy of A = 61 kcal mol-1 • Resonance energy of B = 84 kcal mol-1 • Resonance energy of C = 92 kcal mol-1 • Resonance energy of benzene = 36 kcal mol-1 24

  25. Aromatic character of naphthalene, anthracene and phenanthrene (ii) Theoretical point of view: they have the structure required for aromatic compounds • Flat (sp2-hybidized); cyclic • p-cloud above and below the plane due to ??? • HÜckel`s rule ??? 25

  26. Resonance structures and bond lengths of naphthalene, anthracene and phenanthrene There are n+1 principal resonance structures for polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon containing n benzene rings fused together in a linear manner. Double bond character Bond length The different carbon-carbon bond lengthsreveal the decreased aromaticity of fused polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. Phenanthrene is an angularpolynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon. 26

  27. Fused rings (1) Naphthalene (C10H8) Naphthalene, anthracene and phenanthrene are obtained from coal tar. Naphthalene being the most abundent (5%) of all constituents of coal tar. • In moth balls as insect repellants. • Many synthetic dyes contain naphthalene moiety. (a) Uses (b) Structure Elucidation 27

  28. Reactivity of naphthalene as compared to benzene In naphthalene, two fused rings share a pair of p–electrons, therefore the aromaticity and the resonance energy per ring is less than that of benzene itself. • Resonance energy of naphthalene = 61 kcal mol-1 • Resonance energy per ring = 30.5 kcal mol-1 • Resonance energy of benzene = 36 kcal mol-1 Stability of the compound increases Reactivity decreases As R.E. increases Resistance to destroy aromatic character increases 28

  29. Reactivity of naphthalene as compared to benzene What happened when aromatic character of one ring of naphthalene is destroyed? Therefore, naphthalene undergoes oxidation or reduction more readily than benzene but only to the stage where a substituted benzene is formed; further oxidation or reduction requires more vigorous conditions. 29

  30. Reactions of naphthalene (1) Oxidation 30

  31. Reactions of naphthalene (1) Oxidation • Oxidation by V2O5 is important industrial process (naphthalene is available from coal tar). • Vitamins K1 and K2 are derivatives of 1,4-naphthoquinone. • Because of this tendency to form quinones, it is not always feasible to prepare naphthalenecarboxylic acids by oxidation of methyl side chains. 31

  32. Reactions of naphthalene (2) Reduction 32

  33. Reactions of naphthalene (3) Electrophilic susbstitution reactions Fries rule: The most stable arrangement of a polynuclear compound is that form which has the maximum number of rings in the benzenoid condition. 1-Substitution versus 2-substitution Aromatic sextet is retained (benzene has large R. E.) Number of resonance structures Carbocation and T.S. resulting from attack at the 1-position are much more stable than those resulting from attack at the 2-position . Therefore, 1-susbstitution will be preferred. 33

  34. Reactions of naphthalene (i) Nitration 34

  35. DAMIETTA UNIVERSITY LECTURE 4 Dr Ali El-Agamey CHEM-323: Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbon 35

  36. LEARNING OUTCOMES LECTURE 4 • Reactions of naphthalene: Nitration; Halogenation; Chloromethylation; Friedel-Crafts reactions (alkylation and acylation). • Sulfonation. • Naphthols and naphthylamines. • Synthesis of 1-substituted naphthalenes. • Synthesis of 2-substituted naphthalenes. • Summary of naphthalene reactions. 36

  37. Reactions of naphthalene (i) Nitration 37

  38. Reactions of naphthalene (ii) Halogenation Introduction of NO2 and X groups opens the way to the preparation of a series of 1-substituted naphthalenes. 38

  39. Reactions of naphthalene (iii) Chloromethylation (iv) Friedel-Crafts reactions Friedel-Crafts reactions is carried out under mild conditions. Friedel-Crafts alkylation is of little use because (1) polyalkylation and (2) side reactions. Alkylnaphthalenes can be prepared via acylation or ring closure. 39

  40. Reactions of naphthalene (iv) Friedel-Crafts reactions Acetylation affords access to the preparation of a series of 2-substituted naphthalenes. 40

  41. Reactions of naphthalene (v) Sulfonation 41

  42. Reactions of naphthalene (v) Sulfonation 42

  43. E2 > E1 k1 > k2 ΔH2 > ΔH1 k-1 >> k-2 E-2 (E2 + ΔH2) >> E-1 (E1 + ΔH1) At low T, 1-S is formed faster than 2-S Therefore, 1-S is called kinetically controlled product However, at high T, which speeds up a reaction, or if the reaction is left for long time, 2-S becomes the main product. 1-S reforms N much faster than does 2-S and hence 2-S accumulates at the expense of 1-S i.e. the equilibrium is established in favor of the formation of 2-S, which is called the thermodynamically controlled product. 43

  44. (v) Sulfonation The lower stability of 1-S is attributed to the steric interaction between the sulfonic group and the hydrogen atom in the 8-position. 44

  45. Reactions of naphthalene 45

  46. Reactions of naphthalene Naphthols and naphthylamines Bucherer reaction 46

  47. Reactions of naphthalene Naphthols and naphthylamines 47

  48. Synthesis of 1-substituted naphthalenes 48

  49. Synthesis of 2-substituted naphthalenes Acetylation and sulfonation affords access to the preparation of a series of 2-substituted naphthalenes.

  50. Summary of naphthalene reactions 50
