Benzene Dr. Wolf's CHM 201 & 202
Some history 1834 Eilhardt Mitscherlich isolates a new hydrocarbon and determines its empirical formula to be CnHn. Compound comes to be called benzene. 1845 August W. von Hofmann isolates benzene from coal tar. 1866 August Kekulé proposes structure of benzene. Dr. Wolf's CHM 201 & 202
Kekulé and theStructure of Benzene Dr. Wolf's CHM 201 & 202
H H H H H H Kekulé Formulation of Benzene Kekulé proposed a cyclic structure for C6H6with alternating single and double bonds. Dr. Wolf's CHM 201 & 202

Structure of Benzene Structural studies of benzene do not support theKekulé formulation. Instead of alternating singleand double bonds, all of the C—C bonds are thesame length. Benzene has the shape of a regular hexagon. Dr. Wolf's CHM 201 & 202
All C—C bond distances = 140 pm 140 pm 140 pm 140 pm 140 pm 140 pm 140 pm Dr. Wolf's CHM 201 & 202
All C—C bond distances = 140 pm 146 pm 140 pm 140 pm 140 pm is the average between the C—C single bond distance and the double bond distance in 1,3-butadiene. 140 pm 140 pm 134 pm 140 pm 140 pm Dr. Wolf's CHM 201 & 202

H H H H H H H H H H H H Resonance Formulation of 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. Dr. Wolf's CHM 201 & 202
Resonance Formulation of Benzene Circle-in-a-ring notation stands for resonance description of benzene (hybrid of two Kekulé structures) Dr. Wolf's CHM 201 & 202
The Stability of Benzene benzene is the best and most familiar example of a substance that possesses "special stability" or "aromaticity" aromaticity is a level of stability that is substantially greater for a molecule than would be expected on the basis of any of the Lewis structures written for it Dr. Wolf's CHM 201 & 202

3 x cyclohexene Figure 11.2 (p 404) observed heat of hydrogenation is 152 kJ/mol less than "expected" benzene is 152 kJ/mol more stable thanexpected 152 kJ/mol is the resonance energy of benzene 360 kJ/mol 208 kJ/mol Dr. Wolf's CHM 201 & 202
