- In electrophilic aromatic substitution, the benzene ring acts as an electron donor (Lewis base or nucleophile) and reacts with an electron acceptor (Lewis acid or electrophile). The result of electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions is that an aromatic hydrogen is replaced by some other atom or functional group.

- 3. Substituents with C=C (e.g. -vinyl or-aryl) are also electron donating groups-they activate the aromatic ring by a resonance donating effect. This is a similar effect to that for type 1 except that the electrons are from a bonded pair not a lone pair.

Benzene The most common reactions of benzene involve substitution of a proton by other groups. Electrophilic aromatic substitution is a general method of derivatizing benzene. Benzene is sufficiently nucleophilic that it undergoes substitution by acylium ions and alkyl carbocations to give substituted derivatives.he most common reactions of benzene involve substitution of a proton by other groups.

Ketone Thus, ketones are nucleophilic at oxygen and electrophilic at carbon. Because the carbonyl group interacts with water by hydrogen bonding, ketones are typically more soluble in water than the related methylene compounds. Ketones are hydrogen-bond acceptors. Ketones are not usually hydrogen-bond donors and cannot hydrogen-bond to themselves.

- As we saw in chapter 10, the positions adjacent to C=C, the allylic position, often show enhanced reactivity compared to simple alkanes due to the proximity of the adjacent p system. Similarly, the positions adjacent to a benzene ring, known as the benzylic position also show enhanced reactivity compared to simple alkanes. Students often confuse the term benzyl with phenyl, for example compare the location of the bromine atoms in Bromobenzene and benzyl bromide: Highlight benzylic carbon atom.

- Electron withdrawing groups (EWG) with p bonds to electronegative atoms (e.g. -C=O, -NO2) adjacent to the p system deactivate the aromatic ring by decreasing the electron density on the ring through a resonance withdrawing effect. The resonance only decreases the electron density at the ortho-and para-positions.

Benzene and Other Aromatic Compounds Conjugated ring systems having 4n π-electrons (e.g. 4, 8, 12 etc. electrons) not only fail to show any aromatic properties, but appear to be less stable and more reactive than expected. As noted above, 1,3,5,7-cyclooctatetraene is non-planar and adopts a tub-shaped conformation.

Free-radical halogenation (Redirected from Free radical halogenation). In organic chemistry, free-radical halogenation is a type of halogenation. This chemical reaction is typical of alkanes and alkyl-substituted aromatics under application of UV light.The reaction is used for the industrial synthesis of chloroform (CHCl 3), dichloromethane (CH 2 Cl 2), and hexachlorobutadiene.It proceeds by a free-radical chain mechanism. This is because less energy is required to form the H-Br and tertiary radical (380 − 366 kJ/mol = +14 kJ/mol). 2  This value is 17 kJ/mol less than the secondary radical formation. 3  Iodine does not even participate in free-radical halogenation because the entire reaction is endothermic.

Benzoin condensation The benzoin condensation is a reaction (often called a condensation reaction, for historical reasons) between two aromatic aldehydes, particularly benzaldehyde.The reaction is catalyzed by a nucleophile such as the cyanide anion or an N-heterocyclic carbene.n this reaction, the two aldehydes serve different purposes; one aldehyde donates a proton and one aldehyde accepts a proton. 4-Dimethylaminobenzaldehyde is an efficient proton donor while benzaldehyde is both a proton acceptor and donor.

- The interesting thing about these compounds is the carbon-halogen bond, and all the nucleophilic substitution reactions of the halogenoalkanes involve breaking that bond. The polarity of the carbon-halogen bonds With the exception of iodine, all of the halogens are more electronegative than carbon.n all of these nucleophilic substitution reactions, the carbon-halogen bond has to be broken at some point during the reaction. The harder it is to break, the slower the reaction will be. The carbon-fluorine bond is very strong (stronger than C-H) and isn't easily broken.

Organic Chemistry/Spectroscopy Accordingly, electron withdrawing groups are represented at low chemical shifts. Electron withdrawing groups pull electrons away from a reacting center. This can stabilize an electron rich carbanion. Some examples of electron withdrawing groups are halogens (-Cl, -F) and carboxylic acid (-COOH).

- Such addition-elimination processes generally occur at sp 2 or sp hybridized carbon atoms, in contrast to S N 1 and S N 2 reactions. When applied to aromatic halides, as in the present discussion, this mechanism is called SNAr.hen a benzene ring has two substituent groups, each exerts an influence on subsequent substitution reactions. The activation or deactivation of the ring can be predicted more or less by the sum of the individual effects of these substituents.

Organic Chemistry/Aromatics Effects of Different Substituents[edit] Depending on the type of substituent, atoms or groups of atoms may serve to make the benzene ring either more reactive or less reactive. If the atom or group makes the ring more reactive, it is called activating, and if less, then it is called deactivating.

Haloalkane Hydrolysis, a reaction in which water breaks a bond, is a good example of the nucleophilic nature of haloalkanes. The polar bond attracts a hydroxide ion, OH − (NaOH (aq) being a common source of this ion).or more information, see Halomethane. Haloalkane or alkyl halides are the compounds which have the general formula ″RX″ where R is an alkyl or substituted alkyl group and X is a halogen (F, Cl, Br, I). Haloalkanes have been known for centuries. Chloroethane was produced synthetically in the 15th century.

Benzene and Other Aromatic Compounds Benzene is the archetypical aromatic compound. It is planar, bond angles=120º, all carbon atoms in the ring are sp 2 hybridized, and the pi-orbitals are occupied by 6 electrons. The aromatic heterocycle pyridine is similar to benzene, and is often used as a weak base for scavenging protons.

How Electron-Withdrawing Substituents Direct the Substitution on a Benzene Ring To clarify what is meant by electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents: Any substituent whose first atom (the one that's attached to the benzene ring) has a lone pair will be a pi electron donor to the phenyl ring, as shown in the resonance structure in the next figure.

Organic Chemistry/Ketones and aldehydes Since aldehydes and ketones contain a polar carbonyl group, the partially positive carbon atom can act as an electrophile. Strong and weak nucleophiles are able to attack this carbonyl carbon, resulting in a net addition to the molecule.he carbon chain is numbered so that the ketone carbon, called the carbonyl group, gets the lowest number. For example, would be named 2-butanone because the root structure is butane and the ketone group is on the number two carbon.

E1 mechanism: carbocations and rearrangements But the first step is loss of our leaving groups. The electrons in this bond come off onto the chlorine to form the chloride anion, and we know that the chloride anion is a good leaving group. We're talking a bond away from the carbon that I just marked in red, so that's where our carbocation will form.
