Study Notes

Benzene Derivatives

The general formula for monosubstituted benzene is C6H5X, where X is a substituent.
The planar, ring-shaped structure of benzene imparts unusual stability to the molecule.

Nomenclature of Monosubstituted Benzenes

Monosubstituted benzenes are named by adding the substituent as a prefix to the parent compound benzene.

Classification of Benzene and Similar Compounds

Benzene and substances with similar structures and chemical properties are classified as arenes.

Diamylbenzenes

Dimethylbenzenes are also known as xylenes.

Nitration of Benzene

The compound formed when benzene undergoes nitration is nitrobenzene.

Halogenation of Benzene

The product of the halogenation of benzene with bromine is bromobenzene.

Phenyl Group

The C6H5- group is known as the phenyl group.

Alkylation of Benzene

The product of the alkylation of benzene with chloroethane is ethylbenzene.
In alkylation of benzene, the net addition is replacement of a hydrogen atom by an alkyl group.

Disubstituted Benzenes

The prefixes ortho-, meta-, and para- are used to name disubstituted benzenes.

Trinitrotoluene

The compound 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene is also known as TNT.

Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Aromatic hydrocarbons are essentially hydrocarbons that contain a planar, ring-shaped structure.

Addition Reactions

Carbon atoms in benzene do not undergo addition reactions as do carbon atoms in alkenes.

Chloroethyl Methyl Ether

The compound CH2CH3 Cl Br is also known as chloroethyl methyl ether.
