Primary analysis revealed benzene had...
a molecular mass of 78
a molecular formula of C6H6
Kekulé suggested that benzene was. . PLANAR
and CYCLIC
To explain the above, it was suggested that the structure oscillated between
the two Kekulé forms but was represented by neither of them. It was a
RESONANCE HYBRID ( average of two structures that differ only in the
placement of the valence electrons).
Benzene : Resonance Description
However, all bond lengths in benzene to be equal and intermediate between single bond and double bond lengths (1.39 Å) and the ring is more stable than expected.

Benzene : Resonance Description
Aromatic compounds are compounds that resemble benzene in chemical behavior
thus they tend to react by substitution rather than by addition
* electron cloud delocalized all over the ring
* the resonance picture this helps to explain lack of reactivity of benzene
(substitution not addition )
Benzene : Resonance Description
Electrophilic Substitution Reactions
Electrophilic substitution happens in many of the reactions of compounds
containing benzene rings – the arenes.
Benzene, C6H6, is a planar molecule containing a ring of six carbon atoms each
with a hydrogen atom attached

All of the reactions follow the same pattern of mechanism. The
reagents combine to form a strong electrophile E+ ,and
its partner (:X ), which react as follows:
Reaction Mechanism
Benzene is treated with a mixture of concentrated nitric acid and concentrated
sulphuric acid at a temperature not exceeding 50°C. As temperature increases
there is a greater chance of getting more than one nitro group, -NO2, substituted
onto the ring.Nitrobenzene is formed.

The Nitration Of Benzene
If you are going to substitute an -NO2 group into the ring, then the
electrophile must be NO2+. This is called the "nitronium ion" or the "nitryl
cation", and is formed by reaction between the nitric acid and sulphuric acid
The Halogenation Of Benzene
Benzene reacts with chlorine or bromine in an electrophilic substitution reaction, but
only in the presence of a catalyst. The catalyst is either aluminium or ferric chloride (or
aluminium (ferric) bromide if you are reacting benzene with bromine) or iron.
FeCl3
As a chlorine molecule
approaches the benzene ring, the
delocalised electrons in the ring
repel electrons in the chlorine-
chlorine bond
It is the slightly positive end of the chlorine molecule which acts as the
electrophile. The presence of the ferreic chloride helps this polarisation.
Named after Friedel and Crafts who discovered the reaction.
Reagent : normally the acyl halide (e.g. usually RCOCl) with
aluminum trichloride, AlCl3, a Lewis acid catalyst.
The AlCl3 enhances the electrophilicity of the acyl halide by
complexing with the halide.
Friedel-Crafts Acylation of Benzene
Electrophilic species : the acyl cation or acylium ion (i.e. RCO+ ) formed by
the "removal" of the halide by the Lewis acid catalyst, which is stabilised by
resonance as shown below.

Addition Reaction
A + B AB
• An addition reaction is a reaction in which two molecules join together to make
a bigger one. Nothing is lost in the process. All the atoms in the original molecules
are found in the bigger one.
• In an addition reaction, new
groups X and Y are added to the
starting material. A bond is
broken and two bonds are
formed.
• Addition and elimination reactions are
exactly opposite. A bond is formed in
elimination reactions, whereas a bond
is broken in addition reactions.
The double bond dissolves back to single bond and new bonds reach out to A and
B whose bond is also dissolving

Addition Reaction
Types of addition reactions
Addition Reaction
1) Electrophilic Addition (Reactions Of Alkenes)
1) Nucleophilic Addition (aldehydes (RCHO) and ketones
(RCOR)
An electrophilic addition reaction is an addition reaction in which molecule
has a region of high electron density is attacked by another molecule, atom or
group carrying some degree of positive charge
Electrophilic Addition
Electrophilic addition happens in many of the
reactions of compounds containing carbon-carbon
double bonds (the alkenes e.g. ethene).
Electrophiles are strongly attracted to the exposed electrons in the π bond

Mechanism
Electrophilic Addition
H-X is polarized; H is +, X is -
rates depend upon acid strength:
stronger the acid, faster the rate
HI > HBr > HCl>>>>>>>>HF
Addition of HX (HI, HBr, HCl)
Addition of Hydrogen Halides
When the reaction forms the carbocation intermediate,
the most highly substituted carbocation is favored :
tertiary > seconday > primary.
Step 1: H+ adds to C=C double bond Step 2: Br- ion adds to carbocation
Addition of Hydrogen Halides
However, if the double bond carbon atoms are not structurally equivalent, i.e.
unsymmetrical alkenes as in molecules of 1- propene, 1-butene, 2-methyl-2-butene and 1-
methylcyclohexene, the reagent may add in two different ways to give two isomeric
products. This is shown for 1-propene in the following equation.
Only one product is possible from the addition of these strong acids to symmetrical
alkenes such as ethene, 2-butene and cyclohexene. A

Electrophilic Addition
Markovnikov’s rule stats that : In addition of unsymmetrical reagent to
unsymmetrical alkenes the positive ion adds to the carbon of the alkene that
bears the greater number of hydrogen atoms and the negative ion adds to the
other carbon of the alkene.
However when the addition reactions to such unsymmetrical alkenes are carried out,
it was found that 2-bromopropane is nearly the exclusive product. Thus it said the
reaction proceeded according to Markovnikov’s rule

Addition of HCl to 1-Propene.
It is a regioselective reaction, follow Markovnikov`s rule.
Addition of HBr to 1-Propene in presence of peroxide.
In the presence of peroxides (chemicals containing the general structure
ROOR'), HBr adds to a given alkene in an anti-Markovnikov fashion
Regioselective: One of the possible products is formed in larger amounts than
the other one(s).
Regiospecific: Only one of the possible products is formed (100%).
Electrophilic Addition Addition of Hydrogen Halides
Anti-Markovnikov addition
Only one product is possible from the addition of H2O in presence of acids as
catalysts to symmetrical alkenes such as ethene and cyclohexene.
However, addition reactions to unsymmetrical alkenes will result in the formation
of Markovonikov’s product preferentially.

Electrophilic Addition
Addition of H2O: Hydration
* ADDITION OF H2O
HBr and HCl easily add to alkenes. Since water also is a molecule of the type HX
which can donate a proton, H2O should be able to add to alkenes in the same way as
HBr, for example, resulting in the hydration of an alkene. However, for the addition
of H2O to alkenes to occur acid catalysts are required.
2. Nucleophilic Addtion
It is the most common reaction of aldehydes (RCHO) and ketones (RCOR)
e.g. The reaction of aldehydes and ketones with hydrogen cyanide
hydroxynitriles.

Characteristics of Aromatic Compounds
To be classified as aromatic, a compound must have
1-Cyclic structure
2-Coplanar structure.
3-Each atom of the ring must have a p orbital to
form a delocalized π system i.e. no atoms in the
ring can be sp3 hybridized instead all atoms must be
sp2 hybridized (N.B. carbocation and carbanions are
sp2 hybridized
4-Fulfill Huckel rule i.e. the system must have 4n + 2 pi electrons :
thus by calculating n value it will be an integral number i.e. n=0, 1, 2, 3,
Conjugated (C=C-C=C-C=C)

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds
1. Monosubstituted Benzenes
Benzene ring has priority over :side chains with alkyl, alkoxy groups, halogens, double and triple bonds
In some cases the side chains on aromatic
ring contain functional groups of higher
priorities (NH2, OH, CHO,C=O, COOH,
COOR) thus in this case the aromatic ring will
be considered as a substituent and the side
chain will be used to give the root name. Two
aromatic radials are known

All disubstituted benzenes (two groups are attached to benzene), can give
rise to three possible positional isomers.
When the substituents are different, they are of equal priorities they will
should be listed in alphabetical order.

Reactions of Aromatic Alkyl groups and groups with lone pairs (electron donating groups) direct new groups to ortho-, para-
positions and speed-up the reaction (i.e. o & p directors and activating groups).
Halogens direct new groups to ortho-, para- positions but they slow down the
reaction (i.e. halogens are o & p directors and deactivating groups).
Electron withdrawing groups such as nitro, nitrile, and carbonyl direct new
groups to the meta-position and slow the reaction down (i.e. i.e. m directors and deactivating groups).
Thus the order of reactivity of benzene and monosubstituted benzene derivatives in E.Ar.sub. is as in the
following chart.
