Benzene


What are arenes?

Aromatic hydrocarbons containing one or more benzene ring

Benzene


Describe the properties of Benzene

- Colourless liquid


- C6H6


- Has a sweet odour


- Is flammable

Benzene


What was Kekulé's original model for Benzene?

Alternating double bonds in a ring of six carbons.

Benzene


Why was this model not accepted?

* If C=C double bonds were present, benzene would act as an alkene and decolourise bromine water, BUT it does not react at all - the approaching bromine molecule is not attracted to the C=C bond.


* All the C-C bonds were found to have the same length


* All internal bond angles were found to be 120°


* When the enthalpy of hydrogenation of a C=C bond is measured it = -120kJmol-1, so benzene should have an enthalpy of hydrogenation of 3x(-120kJmol-1) but it does not.


Benzene


Describe the real model for the structure of benzene

6 carbon atoms arranged in a planar hexagonal ring


Bond angles are trigonal planar - 120° around each carbon


The electrons in one p-orbital of one carbon atom overlaps with electrons in other p-orbitals. This overlap produces a system of pi-bonds, in which electrons are delocalised in a ring of electron density

Benzene


Why is Benzene less reactive than alkenes?

(It does not react with bromine water to decolourise it or react with strong acids such as HCl or react with halogens such as Cl, Br or I.)


Benzene is less reactive because


a) the delocalised system of benzene of benzene is very stable


b) to take part in addition reactions an electron from the already stable ring would have to bond to a different atom- forming something that is less stable. This is not energetically favourable.


c) It would disrupt the delocalisation of the ring structure.

Benzene


What kind of reactions does Benzene take part in?



(Be specific pls)

Substitution - one of the hydrogens in the benzene ring is replaced by another atom/group of atoms.


This does not disrupt the stability of the delocalisation of the ring.


Specifically ;) the region of high electron density above and below the carbon plane attracts electrophiles - and so takes part in electrophilic substitution.

Benzene


Draw the nitration of benzene and the conditions required


 


 


Benzene


What is the method for the nitration of benzene?

1) Prepare the nitrating mixture in a round-bottom flask


2) Mix concentrated HNO3 and concentrated H2SO4 carefully while cooling in a beaker of cold water


3) Add benzene carefully to the nitrating mixture - keep below 50°C


4) Once all the benzene is added, fit a reflux condenser and heat to 50°C in a water bath

Benzene


What can happen if the reaction of nitration of benzene gets hotter than 50°C?

More than one nitro group is substituted

Benzene


Outline the nitration of methylbenzene/Toluene


(HINT- it's dynamite)

Methylbenzene can be nitrated with a mixture of concentrated nitric and sulfuric acids. The reaction is faster than the nitration of benzene, and can lead to the formation of 2,4,5,-trinitromethylbenzene (trinitrotoluene - TNT).

Benzene


What are the properties of Nitrobenzene?

* Pale-yellow


* Liquid


* Important starting material for dyes, pesticides and pharmaceuticals

Benzene


Draw the mechanism for the Nitration of benzene, show the catalysts

1) HNO3 + H2SO4 -> NO2 + HSO4- + H2O


3) H+ + HSO4 -> H2SO4 (= catalyst)

1) HNO3 + H2SO4 -> NO2 + HSO4- + H2O


3) H+ + HSO4 -> H2SO4 (= catalyst)

Benzene


How does Benzene react with halogens?

Benzene doesn't react with halogens on their own, but requires a halogen carrier catalyst

Benzene


Give 5 examples of halogen carriers

1) AlCl3


2) FeBr3


3) AlBr3


4) FeCl3


5) Iron metal can also be used as it can react with any halogen present to form the required iron(III) halide

Benzene


Draw the reaction between Bromine and Benzene (with a halogen carrier)

1) Br2 + FeBr3 -> Br+ + FeBr4- 


3) FeBr4 + H+ -> FeBr3 + HBr (= catalyst) 

1) Br2 + FeBr3 -> Br+ + FeBr4-


3) FeBr4 + H+ -> FeBr3 + HBr (= catalyst)

Benzene


Explain the mechanism of the halogenation of benzene

1) The electrophile accepts a pair of electrons from the delocalised ring to form a covalent bond


2) An intermediate forms where the delocalised pi-electron cloud is disrupted with the electrophile attached to the ring - this is less stable


3) As a result, Hydrogen is lost as a H+ ion. The delocalised ring reforms and stability is restored as the hobbits return to the Shire.

Benzene


Draw the mechanism of the reaction of cyclohexene and bromine

Benzene


When aqueous bromine is added dropwise to an alkene, what is the colour change?

Orange to colourless


Benzene


What type of reaction occurs between an alkene and a halogne?

Electrophilic addition

Benzene


Explain the mechanism for the electrophilic addition of alkenes

1) The pi-bond in the cyclohexene contains localised electrons above and below the two carbon atoms in the double bond. This creates a region of high electron density.


2) When bromine approaches the alkene, the electrons in the pi-bond repel the electrons in the Br-Br bonds, inducing a dipole, creating a polar molecule.


3) The pi-electron pair from the double bond is attracted to the partially positive Br causing the double bond to break.


4) A new bond forms between one of the carbon atoms and a bromine atom, forming a positive carbocation. The bond between the two Bromines break by Heterolytic fission. This forms a bromide ion Br-.


5) Finally, the Br- is attracted to the intermediate carbocation forming a covalent bond.

Benzene


What happens when Bromine is added to Benzene?

No reaction takes place - the bromine mixture remains orange.

Benzene


What happens when iron filings or iorn(III) bromide is added to a bromine/benzene mixture?

Bromine is decolourised and white fumes of hydrogen bromide gas are observed.

Benzene


Compare the properties of Benzene and alkenes

Alkenes


* Localised pi-electrons above and below two carbon atoms


* High electron density


* Sufficient pi-electron densty above and below the double bond to depolarise approaching halogen molecules


* Doesn't require a halogen carrier



Benzene


* Delocalised pi-electrons spread overthe 6 carbon ring


* Low electron density


* Insufficient pi-electron density to depolarise an approaching halogen molecule


* Requires a halogen carrier to create a powerful electrophile able to attract the pi-electrons from the ring

Phenols

Phenols


Draw the reaction between a halogen and phenol.

Phenols


Why do phenols have increaed reactivity?

Phenols have an increased reactivity because of the OH group. The p orbital lone electron pair on the oxygen atom is drawn into the ring which creates a high electron density. The ring is activated.


This increased electron density is able to polarise the Bromine molecule which is then attracted more strongly to the ring than in benzene.

2) At the same time the C=O bond breaks forming an intermediate negatively charged oxygen atom


3) The negatively charged intermediate donates a pair of electrons to a hydrogen on a molecule of water, forming a dative covalent bond and a hydroxide ion, OH-.
