Chapter 8 Aromaticity Reactions of Benzene and Substituted Benzenes
The first structure for benzene was proposed by August Kekulé in 1872.
We often represent benzene as a hybrid of two equivalent structures
Naming Benzene Compounds To name a benzene ring with one substituent, name the substituent and add the word benzene.
phenol aniline toluene anisole styrene benzaldehyde benzoic acid benzonitrile Common Names
ortho-dibromobenzene or o-dibromobenzene or 1,2-dibromobenzene meta-dibromobenzene or m-dibromobenzene or 1,3-dibromobenzene para-dibromobenzene or p-dibromobenzene or 1,4-dibromobenzene
If the two groups on the benzene ring are different, alphabetize the names of the substituents preceding the word benzene. • If one substituent is part of a common root, name the molecule as a derivative of that monosubstituted benzene.
For three or more substituents on a benzene ring: • Number to give the lowest possible numbers around the ring. • Alphabetize the substituent names. • When substituents are part of common roots, name the molecule as a derivative of that monosubstituted benzene. The substituent that comprises the common root is located at C1.

Side Chain Bromination Reaction of an alkylbenzene with N-bromo-succinimide (NBS) and benzoyl peroxide (radical initiator) introduces Br into the side chain.
Reactions of Benzene: Electrophilic Substitution Vs Electrophilic Addition
Di- and Polysubstitution • Existing groups on a benzene ring influence further substitution in both orientation and rate • Orientation • certain substituents direct new substitution preferentially toward ortho-parapositions, others direct preferentially towardmetapositions • Rate • certain substituents are activating toward further substitution, others are deactivatingtoward further substitution
Ortho-para Directors -OCH3 is ortho-para directing
Where would the electrophile attack the ring preferentially?
Predict the major product of each of the following reactions.
