Chapter 1 Lect. 1 Organic Chemistry II Lec. 1 By: Dr. Samir Mohamed Awad Prof. Of Pharm. Org. Chem. 1 Sources and Names of Aromatic Compounds Sources: 1. Coal 2.Petroleum: during refining when alkenes are passed over a catalyst at about 500OC under high pressure. Nomenclature: 1. Common name: A) Monocyclic aromatic compounds: CH3 CH3 CH3 Benzene Benzene Toluene Xylene CHO OH COOH NH2 Benzaldehyde Phenol Benzoic acid Aniline O CH = CH2 CH3 Acetophenone Styrene 2 B) Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds: Phenanceren Isomerism of Substituted Benzene: 1. Monosubstituted Benzenes: -Benzene is named as a parent, thus: Br NO2 CH2CH2CH3 Bromobenzene Nitrobenzene n-propylbenzene Radicals of Benzene: CH2 - Phenyl group Benzyl group 2. Disubstituted benzenes: 3 ortho (o),meta (m), or para(p) are used as prefixes. X 1 1,2- 2 ortho X 1 2 1,3 meta 3 X para 1 1,4 2 3 4 Examples: Cl CHO H 3C CH3 Cl ortho-Dichlorobenzene meta-Dimethylbenzene Cl 1,2-disubstituted m-xylene para-Chlorobenzaldehyde 1,3-disubstituted 1,4-disubstituted 2. Trisubstituted benzenes: -They are named by choosing a point of attachment as carbon then the second and third substituens which are listed alphabetically. 3 Br 4 2 CH3 OH 1 CH3 6 CH3 1 CH3 2 O 2N 6 NO2 1 2 H 3C 3 4 5 3 4 4-Bromo-1,2-dimethyl benzene NO2 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene 2,5-Dimethylphenol 2. IUPAC-name: (TNT) The series is numbered to give the substituent the least possible number. 4 1 CH3 3 4 5 6 7 CH - CH2 - CH2 - CH2 - CH2 - CH3 2 2-phenylheptane Aromaticity & Huckel 's rule: Requirements of aromaticity: Requirements of aromaticity: 1) Monocyclic structure. 2) All carbons are sp2 hybridized.( fully conjugated) 3) Planner ( the ring & hydrogens lie in the same plane ) 4) The number of π electrons should obey Huckel s' rule. Huckel s' rule: For a monocyclic planar aromatic molecule, it should have (4n +2) π electrons, where n is an integer number = 0, 1 ,2,3,…. i.e Huckel s' number = ( 2,6,10,14,18……..etc ) 5) The molecule should obey Molecular Orbital Theory (MOT). - All π bonding molecular orbitals (B.M.Os) are completely filled. i.e all π electrons are paired & this allow maximum overlapping of orbitals. e.g Benzene 6 mol.orb. 3 B.M.Os 3 A.B.M.Os 6) The molecule should obey Resonance Theory: * Benzene is a regular hexagon, bond angle 1200 5 *All 6 hydrogens lie in the same plane of the ring & each C – C – H valence angle is 1200. * The C – C bond length is the same = 1.39 A0. 7) 1HNMR spectrum: Protons attached to the outside of an aromatic ring are highly deshielded and appear at low magnetic field i.e at high δ- value, so aromatic protons usually appear at δ 7 – 9 ppm. 8) The main reaction is electrophilic substitution reaction, not addition. ** To sum up: To determine if a compound is aromatic check the following practical &theoretical aspects. Practical: 1- No addition reactions. 2- 1HNMR : 7 – 9 ppm. Theoretical: 1 – Resonance 2 – Huckel s' rule 3 – M.O.T Anti aromaticity : -Compounds contain 4π electrons e.g Cyclobutadiene *1,3 – cyclobutadiene is planar,cyclic, conjugated, contain 4π electrons In- which n = 1 , so it is antiaromatic. * All p – orbitals are not completely filled. * Not stable, its aliphatic acyclic analogue (1,3-butadiene ) is more stable than it * It can not be separated except under very drastic conditions ( very low temperature, 6 bellow 35 K). Q: Mark the following sentences True or False: Cyclobutadiene is more reactive than 1,3- butadiene. * Non benzenoid aromatic compounds. 1 – Cyclopropenyl cation: + C 3H 3 H N.M.R: 9.2 ppm H highly deshielded bec. 2 electrons are distributed on 3 carbons cyclopropene It is not aromatic bec. it contains one sp3 carbon -. + -H -H -H H H H - +. - cyclopropenyl anion - cyclopropenyl cation -cyclopropenyl free radical - it contains 4 electrons. - it contains 2 pi- electrons. - it contains 3 pi - electrons.

NMR:: 9.2 PPM (highly deshielded) P- orbitals are not completely filled,pi- electrons arenot completely Aromatic paired. not max. overlapping. Antiaromatic. + + + + + + ve charge is distributed all over carbon atoms causing deshielding of protons. * Cyclooctatetraene (COT): 9 Q: Explain the following in terms of Huckel s' rule, M.O.T, resonance & 1HNMR data. - Cyclooctatetraene undergoes addition reactions with HX &halogens. -Cyclooctatetraene is not aromatic ( no electrophilic substitution reactions), Thus reacts as polyenes by addition due to 1) The molecule is not planar (tub-shabed) 2) Angle strain ( 1350) which causes buckering or deformation of the molecule(loss of planarity). 3) It does not obey Huckel s' rule, since it contains 8 π electrons. 4) All π-orbitals are not completely filled i.e it does not obey M.O.T. - COT readily reacts with potassium toform the Salt K2COT which contains the dianion C8H82-, the dianion is planar in shape & aromatic with a Huckel electron count of 10. 2K __ + 2 k + H2 Q: Choose the most correct answer (2010 exam) Cyclooctatetraene is not aromatic because: a) It undergoes ESAr b) All carbons are sp2 hybridized. c) It has a tub-like shape & lacks planarity.

Aromatic Heterocycles 10 Heterocycles: cyclic compounds with one or more heteroatom e.g. N,O,S,……etc. *Heterocycles may be aromatic, anti-aromatic, or non aromatic. Aromatic Heterocycles: NH2 NH2..

Convert: benzene into toluene 17 CH3 CH3Cl | AlCl3 toluene Some drawbacks of F.C alkylation: *Un reactive benzene rings are not react by F.C-alkylation, rings with electron withdrawing groups such as : -NH3, -NO2, -CN, -SO3H, -CHO, - COOCH3, -COOH, -NH2, -NHR, -NR2 do not undergo F.C-alkylation, Because carbocation is a weak electrophile, & NO2 or +NR3 will deactivate benzene ring towards E+ ,therefore nitrobenzene can be used as a solvent in F.C reaction. thus, CN NO2 SO3H COOH CH3Cl | AlCl3 NH2 NHCH3 CHO COOCH3 No reaction H 3C + CH3 N(CH3)3 N COCH3 18 Ex.
