Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules
•Benzene is aromatic: a cyclic conjugated compound with 6 electrons
•Reactions of benzene lead to the retention of the aromatic core

Electrophilic Bromination of Aromatic Rings
ortho-bromotoluenepara-bromotoluenetoluene
meta-bromonitrobenzene
Regiochemistry (ortho, para, meta) will depend on relative stability of resonance structures for carbocation intermediates

Halogens are ortho para directors, but are still deactivating compared with benzene
![Page 11: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Transformations of Aryl bromides

Aromatic Nitration• The combination of nitric acid and sulfuric acid produces
NO2+ (nitronium ion)
• The reaction with benzene produces nitrobenzene

Nitration of toluene: an electron rich monomer
![Page 14: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
ortho & para Regioselectivity explained
Kinetics are more favorable for ortho and para isomers with electron donating substitutent on benzene
![Page 15: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Too corrosive for artillery shells
•High explosive: Shock wave•Secondary explosive: requires primer (primary explosive) to detonate•Nitroaromatics are harmful: aplastic anemia and liver toxicity
![Page 18: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Reactions of nitroaromatics
• Nitro is deactivating (destabilizes the Wheland intermediate & slows reactions).
• Reactions are 100,000 slower than with benzene• Meta directing
More polynitrationmono-brominationReduction to anilines and azo
compoundsNucleophilic aromatic substitution
![Page 19: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Meta selective: electron withdrawing groups
•electron withdrawing group inductively destabilizes adjacent carbocations in ortho and para cases. • No adjacent carbocation in meta regiochemistry resonance structures
![Page 20: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Reduction of Nitroaromatics to Aryl amines
Amine group is electron donating: changes subsequent regiochemistry from meta to ortho-para
![Page 21: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Aromatic Sulfonation• Substitution of H by SO3 (sulfonation)• Reaction with a mixture of sulfuric acid and SO3• Reactive species is sulfur trioxide or its conjugate acid• Reaction occurs via Wheland intermediate and is
reversible
![Page 22: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Alkali Fusion of Aromatic Sulfonic Acids
• Sulfonic acids are useful as intermediates• Heating with NaOH at 300 ºC followed by neutralization
with acid replaces the SO3H group with an OH• Example is the synthesis of p-cresol
![Page 23: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Alkylation of Aromatic Rings: The Friedel–Crafts Reaction
• Aromatic substitution of a R+ for H• Aluminum chloride promotes the formation of
the carbocation• Rearrangement of carbocation can occur
![Page 24: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Friedel Craft alkylation mechanism
![Page 25: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Friedel Craft alkylation with rearrangements
![Page 26: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Limitations of the Friedel-Crafts Alkylation
• Only alkyl halides can be used (F, Cl, I, Br)• Aryl halides and vinylic halides do not react (their
carbocations are too hard to form)• Will not work with rings containing an amino group
substituent or a strongly electron-withdrawing group
![Page 27: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Control Problems• Multiple alkylations can occur because the first alkylation
is activating
![Page 28: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Acylation of Aromatic Rings • Reaction of an acid chloride (RCOCl) and an aromatic ring
in the presence of AlCl3 introduces acyl group, COR – Benzene with acetyl chloride yields acetophenone
![Page 29: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Friedel Craft Acylation Mechanism

Acylation – No rearrangement of acylium ions
![Page 31: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Ortho- and Para-Directing Deactivators: Halogens
• Electron-withdrawing inductive effect outweighs weaker electron-donating resonance effect
• Resonance effect is only at the ortho and para positions, stabilizing carbocation intermediate
![Page 33: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Strongly Activating o,p directors: Multiple additions
![Page 34: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Summary of activation versus deactivation and ortho & para versus meta direction
![Page 36: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
With multiple substitutents there can be antagonistic or reinforcing effects
Antagonistic or Non-Cooperative
D = Electron Donating Group (ortho/para-directing)W = Electron Withdrawing Group (meta-directing)

Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution
• While protons attached to electron-rich aromatics can be displaced by electrophiles, halogens attached to electron-depleted aromatics can be displaced by nucleophies
• Nucleophilic aromatic substitution is similar to SN1/SN2 in its outcome, but follows completely different mechanisms
Substitution Nucleophilic Aromatic (SNAr), the Benzyne Mech, and reaction of diazonium salts
![Page 48: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
SNAr Mechanism: Electron EWG’s
![Page 49: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Addition-Elimination Reactions
• Typical for aryl halides with nitro groups in ortho or para position
• Addition to form intermediates (Meisenheimer complexes) by electron-withdrawal
• Halide ion is then lost by elimination
![Page 50: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Chlorobenzene is unreactive under ordinary laboratory conditions…
![Page 51: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
…but brute force will do the job!
However, this can’t be the same mechanism
![Page 52: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Nucleophilic substitution aromatic
Strong EWG ortho or para to leaving group (F, Cl, Br, I, OTf)
Strong nucleophile (HO-, RO-, Amide, thiolate, carbanions)
![Page 53: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
SNAr used in making polymers (plastics)
![Page 54: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Elimination-Addition: Benzynes • The reaction involves an elimination reaction that gives a
triple bond, followed by rapid addition of water
• The intermediate is called benzyne
![Page 55: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Evidence for Benzyne as an Intermediate
• Bromobenzene with 14C only at C1 gives substitution product with label scrambled between C1 and C2
• Reaction proceeds through a symmetrical intermediate in which C1 and C2 are equivalent— must be benzyne
![Page 56: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Structure of Benzyne• Benzyne is a highly distorted alkyne• The triple bond uses sp2-hybridized carbons, not the usual
sp• The triple bond has one bond formed by p–p overlap
and by weak sp2–sp2 overlap
![Page 57: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)

Another Nucleophilic Like reaction using Diazonium Salts (made from Anilines)
ArNH2 is easily made from reduction of nitrobenzenes. Permits preparation of molecules impossible to make otherwise

16.10 Oxidation of Aromatic Compounds
• Alkyl side chains can be oxidized to CO2H by strong reagents such as KMnO4 and Na2Cr2O7 if they have a C-H next to the ring
• Converts an alkylbenzene into a benzoic acid, ArR ArCO2H
![Page 64: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)

Bromination of Alkylbenzene Side Chains
• Reaction of an alkylbenzene with N-bromo-succinimide (NBS) and benzoyl peroxide (radical initiator) introduces Br into the side chain
![Page 66: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Mechanism of NBS (Radical) Reaction
• Abstraction of a benzylic hydrogen atom generates an intermediate benzylic radical
• Reacts with Br2 to yield product• Br· radical cycles back into reaction to carry chain• Br2 produced from reaction of HBr with NBS
![Page 67: Chapter 18 Reactions of Aromatic molecules](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681644c550346895dd61645/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
16.11 Reduction of Aromatic Compounds
• Aromatic rings are inert to catalytic hydrogenation under conditions that reduce alkene double bonds
• Can selectively reduce an alkene double bond in the presence of an aromatic ring
• Reduction of an aromatic ring requires more powerful reducing conditions (high pressure or rhodium catalysts)
