Study Notes
Aromatic Compounds
- Benzene has a unique structure, known as the Kekulé structure.
- The structure of benzene is essential in understanding its properties and reactions.
Nomenclature of Benzene Derivatives
- Monosubstituted benzene derivatives are named based on the substituent attached to the benzene ring.
- Examples of monosubstituted benzene derivatives include:
- Methyl benzene
- Hydroxy benzene
- Amino benzene
Disubstituted Benzene Derivatives
- When two substituents are present, their relative positions are indicated by the prefixes:
- Ortho- (o-)
- Meta- (m-)
- Para- (p-)
- Alternatively, the positions can be indicated by the use of numbers.
Trisubstituted Benzene Derivatives
- The benzene ring is numbered to give the lowest possible numbers to the substituents.
Reactions of Benzene
- Benzene does not undergo addition reactions.
- Benzene undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions.
Aromaticity and the Hückel Rule
- Aromatic compounds must be:
- Cyclic
- Have a high degree of unsaturation and conjugation
- Planar (SP2 hybridization)
- Undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions
- Obey the Hückel Rule (4n + 2 = number of π-electrons), where n is a real number (0, 1, 2, 3, …).
- The Hückel Rule is essential in determining the aromaticity of a compound.
