Benzene
• Isolated by Faraday in 1825
Physical properties:
• Clear, colourless, hydrocarbon
• 92.3% Carbon, 7.7% hydrogen.
• 0.250g was vaporised at 100oC had a volume of 98cm3
• Boiling point 80oC, melting point 5oC

Calculate the molecular formula
1 mole of gas is 24dm3 at RTP
• 0.250g was vaporised at 100oC had a volume of 98cm3.
• From this it was calculated that the molecular mass was 78g
• So what is the molecular formula?
![Page 9: Benzene Part 1. Starter: name the functional group. 123 4 5.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e725503460f94b712f9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The relative molecular mass of the sample is 78
The molecular formula78/13 = 6
Therefore the molecular formula is C6H6

STRUCTURE OF BENZENESTRUCTURE OF BENZENE
HOWEVER...
• it did not readily undergo electrophilic addition - no true C=C bond
• only one 1,2 disubstituted product existed
• all six C—C bond lengths were similar; C=C bonds are shorter than C-C
• the ring was thermodynamically more stable than expected
To explain the above, it was suggested that the structure oscillatedbetween the two Kekulé forms but was represented by neither ofthem. It was a RESONANCE HYBRID.

6 single bonds one way to overlapadjacent p orbitals

anotherpossibility
This final structure was particularly stable andresisted attempts to break it down through normalelectrophilic addition. However, substitution of anyhydrogen atoms would not affect the delocalisation.
The theory suggested that instead of three localised (in one position) double bonds, the six p () electrons making up those bonds were delocalised (not in any oneparticular position) around the ring by overlapping the p orbitals. There would be nodouble bonds and all bond lengths would be equal. It also gave a planar structure.

ELECTROPHILIC SUBSTITUTIONELECTROPHILIC SUBSTITUTION
Theory The high electron density of the ring makes it open to attack by electrophiles
Addition to the ring would upset the delocalised electron system
Substitution of hydrogen atoms on the ring does not affect the delocalisation
Because the mechanism involves an initial disruption to the ring,
electrophiles must be more powerful than those which react with alkenes
Overall there is ELECTROPHILIC SUBSTITUTION

Mechanism
• a pair of electrons leaves the delocalised system to form a bond to the electrophile
• this disrupts the stable delocalised system and forms an unstable intermediate
• to restore stability, the pair of electrons in the C-H bond moves back into the ring
• overall there is substitution of hydrogen ... ELECTROPHILIC SUBSTITUTION

Reagents a halogenoalkane (RX) and anhydrous aluminium chloride AlCl3
Conditions room temperature; dry inert solvent (ether)
Electrophile a carbocation ion R+ (e.g. CH3+)
Equation C6H6 + C2H5Cl ———> C6H5C2H5 + HCl
Mechanism
General A catalyst is used to increase the positive nature of the electrophile
and make it better at attacking benzene rings.AlCl3 acts as a Lewis Acid and helps break the C—Cl bond.

Catalyst anhydrous aluminium chloride acts as the catalystthe Al in AlCl3 has only 6 electrons in its outer shell; a LEWIS
ACIDit increases the polarisation of the C-Cl bond in the haloalkanethis makes the charge on C more positive and the following
occurs
RCl + AlCl3 AlCl4¯ + R+

FRIEDEL-CRAFTS REACTIONS - FRIEDEL-CRAFTS REACTIONS - INDUSTRIALINDUSTRIAL ALKYLATIONALKYLATION
Industrial Alkenes are used instead of haloalkanes but an acid must be presentPhenylethane, C6H5C2H5 is made by this method
Reagents ethene, anhydrous AlCl3 , conc. HCl
Electrophile C2H5+ (an ethyl carbonium ion)
Equation C6H6 + C2H4 ———> C6H5C2H5 (ethyl benzene)
Mechanism the HCl reacts with the alkene to generate a carbonium ionelectrophilic substitution then takes place as the C2H5
+ attacks the ring
Use ethyl benzene is dehydrogenated to produce phenylethene (styrene);
this is used to make poly(phenylethene) - also known as polystyrene

FRIEDEL-CRAFTS REACTIONS OF BENZENE - FRIEDEL-CRAFTS REACTIONS OF BENZENE - ACYLATIONACYLATION
Overview Acylation involves substituting an acyl (methanoyl, ethanoyl) group
Reagents an acyl chloride (RCOX) and anhydrous aluminium chloride AlCl3
Conditions reflux 50°C; dry inert solvent (ether)
Electrophile RC+= O ( e.g. CH3C+O )
Equation C6H6 + CH3COCl ———> C6H5COCH3 + HCl
Mechanism
Product A carbonyl compound (aldehyde or ketone)

FURTHER SUBSTITUTION OF ARENESFURTHER SUBSTITUTION OF ARENES
Theory It is possible to substitute more than one functional group.
But, the functional group already on the ring affects...
• how easy it can be done • where the next substituent goes
Group ELECTRON DONATING ELECTRON WITHDRAWING
Example(s) OH, CH3 NO2
Electron density of ring Increases Decreases
Ease of substitution Easier Harder
