3.1 Nomenclature of aromatic compounds
� For simple aromatic compound, it is as describe in the table above
� Benzene can also be considered as a branched group.
� Branched benzene is called as phenyl (C6H5–)
� When there are 2 or more substituents on benzene ring, 3 structural isomers are possible. The substituents may be located by numbering the atoms of the ring, or may be indicates by prefixes of ortho, meta, or para
Position of the 2 substituents in benzene ring
1,2-position [ortho (o)] 1,3-position [meta (m)] 1,4-position [para (p)]
1,2 – dichlorobenzene

� When 3 or more groups are on benzene ring, a numbering system must be used to name them. Usually a smaller number of groups will be C1and the other will be numbered accordingly.
� If there are 3 different groups, the one which have a common name will be given priority. The other 2 will be name and numbered base on alphabetical order.

3.2 Reaction of Benzene
� Even though in benzene contain 3 double bonds, but as explained in Kekule’s structure, it give an extra stability due to delocalised
ππππ – electrons in the ring and the resonance structure.
� Thus, benzene usually undergoes substitution reaction instead of addition reaction.
� The substitution reactions of benzene with an electrophilic reaction include : 1. Halogenation 2. Alkyation
3. Acylation 4. Nitration 5. Sulphonation

3.2.1 Halogenation
� Chlorine react with benzene under aluminium chloride as catalyst under room condition
� Bromine reacts with benzene only under the presence of catalyst iron (III) bromide and some hear
� The mechanism of halogenation of benzene
� Step 1 : Formation of halogen ion (X+) as electrophile using heterolytic fission reaction. In chlorine, aluminium chloride (electron deficient compound) is readily to receive lone pair electron (act as Lewis acid) from chlorine
![Page 10: Organic Chemistry : Aromatic Compound (Benzene)](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d391a7bb61eb2b5d8b45cf/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
� Step 2 : Electrophilic attack on benzene ring to form a carbocation. Cl+ ion attack the benzene ring and the delocalise π-electron form a C–Clbond in benzene. This will result a carbocation formed as intermediate and disturb the ring (cause benzene ring become unstable)
� Step 3 : Proton lost from carbocation. Carbocation transfers a proton to [AlCl4]
− and the benzene ring is stabilised back. This results in the formation of chlorobenzene and HCl.
![Page 11: Organic Chemistry : Aromatic Compound (Benzene)](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d391a7bb61eb2b5d8b45cf/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
� [As extra note, benzene also react with chlorine in the presence of UV and some heat to form 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane (addition reaction)]
![Page 12: Organic Chemistry : Aromatic Compound (Benzene)](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d391a7bb61eb2b5d8b45cf/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Friedel–Crafts reaction
� Similar to halogenation, Friedel – Crafts reaction also required a halogen carrier to act as catalyst
� Depending on the type of haloalkane used, the halogen carrier is also different.
� If chloroalkane (R–Cl) is used, the halogen carrier will be aluminiumchloride (AlCl3)
� If bromoalkaane (R–Br) is used, the halogen carrier will be iron (III) bromide (FeBr3)
3.2.2 Alkylation of Benzene
� When chloroethane (CH3CH2Cl) react with benzene with the presence of AlCl3, ethylbenzene is produced (C6H5–CH2CH3) under room temperature
![Page 13: Organic Chemistry : Aromatic Compound (Benzene)](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d391a7bb61eb2b5d8b45cf/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The mechanism of alkylation is very similar in ways of how halogenation occur.
Step 1 : Formation of electrophile by heterolytic fission
Step 2 : Electrophile attacking the benzene ring to form carbocation
Step 3 : Proton lost from the unstable carbocation formed earlier.
![Page 14: Organic Chemistry : Aromatic Compound (Benzene)](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d391a7bb61eb2b5d8b45cf/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
3.2.3 Acylation of Benzene
� When ethanoyl chloride (CH3COCl) reacts with benzene under the presence of AlCl3, phenylethanone is produced (C6H5–COCH3) at 80
oC.
� The mechanism of acylation
Step 1 : Formation of electrophile by heterolytic fission
Step 2 : Electrophile attacking the benzene ring to form carbocation
Step 3 : Proton lost from the unstable carbocation formed earlier
![Page 15: Organic Chemistry : Aromatic Compound (Benzene)](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d391a7bb61eb2b5d8b45cf/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
� For nitration and sulphonation of benzene, halogen carrier is not used, as the reagent used for the reaction is an acid. The mechanism of nitration and sulphonation are also nearly similar to each other.
3.2.4 Nitration of benzene
� Concentrated nitric (V) acid, HNO3 will only react with benzene under the presence of a little concentrated sulphuric acid (H2SO4) at 55
oC heated under reflux, to produce nitrobenzene
� The mechanisms of nitration are explained below
Step 1 : Production of nitronium ion, NO2+. In nitration of benzene,
nitric (V) acid act as Bronsted-Lowry base where it accept a proton donated by sulphuric acid
![Page 16: Organic Chemistry : Aromatic Compound (Benzene)](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d391a7bb61eb2b5d8b45cf/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Step 2 : Electrophile attacked benzene ring to form carbocation. NO2
+ ion attack the benzene ring and delocalise π-electron form a C–NO2
bond in benzene. This will result a carbocation formed as intermediate and disturb the ring (cause benzene ring become unstable)
Step 3 : Proton lost from carbocation. Carbocation transfers a proton to HSO4
− and the benzene ring is stabilised back. This results in the formation of nitrobenzene and H2SO4 (catalyst)
![Page 17: Organic Chemistry : Aromatic Compound (Benzene)](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d391a7bb61eb2b5d8b45cf/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
� When nitration is carried out at higher temperature (above 200oC), a 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene can be formed where :
![Page 18: Organic Chemistry : Aromatic Compound (Benzene)](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d391a7bb61eb2b5d8b45cf/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
3.2.5 Sulphonation of benzene
� The mechanisms occur for sulphonation of benzene is more or less the same with nitration of benzene. Unlike nitration, sulphonation does not required a catalyst as the reagent used, sulphuric acid (H2SO4) act as a catalyst itself
� Step 1 : Formation of electrophile from sulphuric acid. The protonation of sulphuric acid when it received one H+ (Bronsted-Lowry base) from another sulphuric acid
![Page 19: Organic Chemistry : Aromatic Compound (Benzene)](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d391a7bb61eb2b5d8b45cf/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Step 2 : Electrophile attacked benzene ring to form carbocation.
Step 3 : Proton lost from carbocation
![Page 20: Organic Chemistry : Aromatic Compound (Benzene)](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d391a7bb61eb2b5d8b45cf/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Other chemical reaction of benzene
� Unlike alkene, benzene is stabilised by the delocalised π electrons. So, it does not react easily as in alkene. For example, if benzene react with acidified potassium manganate (VII), KMnO4 (H2SO4)
� When react with hydrogen gas with presence of nickel as catalyst at 180oC, it form cyclohexane. The reaction is an additional reaction.
benzene cyclohexane
� Benzene also reacts with propene to give isopropylbenzene (well known as cumene) which is a starting material to synthesis phenol. Concentrated H3PO4 serve at catalyst under 250
oC

3.3 Influence of Substitution Group on Reactivity and
Orientation of Substituted Benzene

� Properties of ring activate group
� Electron donating groups have positive inductive effect (+I)
� When electrophile attacked the benzene ring, carbocation is formed.
� Since a more stable carbocation form faster than a less stable one, when electrophile attacked at ortho & para position.
![Page 23: Organic Chemistry : Aromatic Compound (Benzene)](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d391a7bb61eb2b5d8b45cf/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
� As discussed earlier, 3o carbocation is more stable than 2o carbocation. Using resonance, it is possible for cation to reside at 3o carbon.
� Since ortho / para position are more activated when a 30 carbocation formed, it increase the rate of reaction
![Page 24: Organic Chemistry : Aromatic Compound (Benzene)](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d391a7bb61eb2b5d8b45cf/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
� Properties of ring deactivate group
� Electron withdrawing groups have negative inductive effect (–I)
δ+ δ−
� Under (–I) effect, C – M, carbon had already bear partial positive charge δ+
![Page 25: Organic Chemistry : Aromatic Compound (Benzene)](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d391a7bb61eb2b5d8b45cf/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
� Unlike electron donating group, when the cation is placed at the directing group of electron withdrawing group, it will tend to become unstable
� So attacking at meta position is more stable than in ortho / para position.
� Still, since in react much slower than in benzene, so electron withdrawing group is to say deactivate benzene ring and cause the rate of reaction decrease.

3.4 Reaction of methylbenzene
� Methylbenzene resemble with benzene in many ways. As methylbenzene is less toxic, is often used as reagent instead of benzene. Moreover, methyl (CH3–) is ring activate group, it react faster and required lesser effort (lower temperature, concentration electrophile) compare to benzene.
� Unlike benzene, methylbenzene contain an aliphatic (CH3–) and aromatic (C6H6). In other words, methylbenzene undergoes 2 distinctive type of reaction :
⇒ reaction of the methyl group ⇒ reaction of the benzene ring

� Methylbenzene reacts with strong oxidising agent such as acidified potassium
manganate (VII) [KMnO4 / H+] or acidified potassium dichromate (VI) [K2Cr2O7
/ H+] to form benzoic acid. This is a method to distinguish between
benzene and methylbenzene.
� Under room temp, only H in methyl is substituted by Cl atom.
Step 1 : Initiation – Formation of Cl• (radical)
Step 2 : Propagation – Radical attack methylbenzene to form multiple form of
radical
Step 3 : Termination – chlorine radical react and methylbenzene radical
� If temperature increases to 200oC, then, even the H inside benzene ring may
be substituted by Cl.
