Benzene Derivatives Nomenclature Quiz and Flashcards

According to the given information, which type of hybridization is associated with the molecules obeying the Huckel rule?

Based on the given details, which set of π-electrons fulfills the condition for aromaticity according to the Huckel rule?

From the information provided, which type of cyclic molecules is NOT associated with aromaticity?

According to the given data, which set of π-electrons does NOT meet the criteria for aromaticity as per the Huckel rule?

Based on the provided information, which type of hybridization is NOT associated with aromatic cyclic molecules?

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.
