  6. REVIEW OF BENZENE PROPERTIES

  7. BENZENE RESONANCE Review Sections 6.8 - 6.14 KEKULE STRUCTURES Resonance Energy = 36 Kcal / mole All bonds are equivalent The ring is symmetric. Bond lengths are between a single and a double bond. Very Stable Less reactive than other groupings of atoms.

  8. . . H H . . . . H H H H All 2p orbitals overlap equally.

  9. BENZENE Isodensity surfaces - electron potential mapped in color. (van der Waal’s) Highest electron density is red. Color adjusted to enhance the pi system. Note the symmetry.

  10. BENZENE - DETERMINATION OF RESONANCE ENERGY cyclohexatriene (hypothetical) benzene RESONANCE ENERGY 36 kcal/mol cyclohexene -49.8 kcal/mol -85.8 kcal/mol (calculated) -28.6 kcal/mol cyclohexane

  11. REACTIVITY

  12. The “Double Bonds” in a Benzene Ring Do Not React Like Others Alkene Benzene no reaction + + no reaction + + no reaction + + no reaction + +

  13. Benzene is a Weak Base and Poor Nucleophile Stronger base + Readily donates electrons to an electrophile. alkene + Donation of electrons would interrupt ring resonance (36 kcal / mole). Weaker base A strong electrophile is required - and often a catalyst. benzene

  14. Benzene Reactivity Benzene requires a strong electrophile and a catalyst …..and then it undergoes substitution reactions, not addition. + + catalyst substitution compare: + no catalyst addition

  15. Some Substitution Reactions of Benzene Halogenation + Friedel-Crafts Alkylation + Friedel-Crafts Acylation + - + + Nitration + - Sulfonation +

  16. MECHANISM All of the reactions follow the same pattern of mechanism. The reagents combine to form a strong electrophile E+ ,and its partner (:X ), which react as follows: ELECTROPHILIC AROMATIC SUBSTITUTION (+) + + HX (+) + slow :X intermediate restores ring resonance benzenium ion* resonance structures are shown by the (+) symbols * also called a benzenonium ion

  39. AROMATIC ? WHERE DID THE TERM ORIGINALLY COME FROM ?

  40. A LOT OF NICE-SMELLING COMPOUNDS (SPICES IN PARTICULAR) HAVE BENZENE RINGS thymol anisaldehyde (thyme) cinnamaldehyde (anise) (cinnamon) eugenol cuminaldehyde (cloves) (cumin) Hence, compounds having benzene rings eventually came to be know as “AROMATIC COMPOUNDS. Today chemists have a different definition of “AROMATIC” which we will discuss later in the chapter.
