  4. Resonance & Benzene

  5. Thermochemical Measures of Stability heat of hydrogenation: compare experimentalvalue with "expected" value for hypothetical"cyclohexatriene" Pt + 3H2 H°= – 208 kJ

  6. Cyclic conjugation versus noncyclic conjugation 3H2 Pt heat of hydrogenation = -208 kJ/mol (-49 kcal/mol) 3H2 Pt heat of hydrogenation = -337 kJ/mol (-85.8 kcal/mol)

  7. H H H H H H H H H H H H Resonance & Benzene express the structure of benzene as a resonancehybrid of the two Lewis structures. Electrons arenot localized in alternating single and double bonds,but are delocalized over all six ring carbons.

  8. Resonance & Benzene Circle-in-a-ring notation stands for resonance description of benzene (hybrid of two resonance structures)

  9. Question • Which of the following compounds has a double bond that is conjugated with the p system of the benzene ring? • A) p-Benzyltoluene • B) 2-Phenyl-1-decene • C) 3-Phenylcyclohexene • D) 3-Phenyl-1,4-pentadiene • E) 2,4,6-trichloroanisole

  11. The  Molecular Orbitalsof Benzene

  12. Orbital Hybridization Model of Bonding in Benzene High electron density above and below plane of ring

  13. Hückel's Rule Frost's circle is a mnemonic that allows us to draw a diagram showing the relative energies ofthe p orbitals of a cyclic conjugated system. 1) Draw a circle. 2) Inscribe a regular polygon inside the circle so that one of its corners is at the bottom. 3) Every point where a corner of the polygon touches the circle corresponds to a p electron energy level. 4) The middle of the circle separates bonding and antibonding orbitals.

  14. Antibonding Bonding p MOs of Benzene Frost's Circle

  15. Energy Benzene MOs Antibondingorbitals 6 p AOs combine to give 6  MOs 3 MOs are bonding; 3 are antibonding Bondingorbitals

  16. Energy Benzene MOs Antibondingorbitals All bonding MOs are filled No electrons in antibonding orbitals Bondingorbitals

  21. Hückel's Rule Among planar, monocyclic, completely conjugated polyenes, only those with 4N + 2 p electrons have resonance stability (i.e. They are aromatic; and they are also planar.) N 4N+2 0 2 1 6 2 10 3 14 4 18

  25. Hückel's Rule&molecular orbitals Hückel”s rule applies to: cyclic, planar,conjugated, polyenes the p molecular orbitals ofthese compounds have a distinctive pattern one p orbital is lowest in energy, another is highest in energy, and the others are arranged in pairs between the highestand the lowest

  36. [10]Annulene predicted to be aromatic by Hückel's rule,but too much angle strain when planar and all double bonds are cis (therefore non-planar) 10-sided regular polygon has angles of 144°

  37. [10]Annulene incorporating two trans double bonds intothe ring relieves angle strain but introducesvan der Waals strain into the structure andcauses the ring to be distorted from planarity

  38. [10]Annulene van der Waalsstrain betweenthese two hydrogens incorporating two trans double bonds intothe ring relieves angle strain but also introducesvan der Waals strain into the structure andcauses the ring to be non-planar
