Chapter 17 2
Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution
Electrophile substitutes for a hydrogen on the benzene ring.

Chapter 17 3
Mechanism
Step 1: Attack on the electrophile forms the sigma complex.
=>
Step 2: Loss of a proton gives the substitution product.

Chapter 17 5
Chlorination and Iodination
• Chlorination is similar to bromination. Use AlCl3 as the Lewis acid catalyst.
• Iodination requires an acidic oxidizing agent, like nitric acid, which oxidizes the iodine to an iodonium ion.

Chapter 17 6
Nitration of BenzeneUse sulfuric acid with nitric acid to form
the nitronium ion electrophile.
NO2+ then forms a sigma complex with
benzene, loses H+ to form nitrobenzene.

SulfonationSulfur trioxide, SO3, in fuming sulfuric
acid is the electrophile.

Nitration of Toluene
• Toluene reacts 25 times faster than benzene. The methyl group is an activating group.
• The product mix contains mostly ortho and para substituted molecules.

Chapter 17 9
Sigma Complex
Intermediate is more stable if nitration occurs at the ortho or para position.

Activating, O-, P-Directing Substituents
• Alkyl groups stabilize the sigma complex by induction, donating electron density through the sigma bond.
• Substituents with a lone pair of electrons stabilize the sigma complex by resonance.

Chapter 17 12
The Amino Group
Aniline, like anisole, reacts with bromine water (without a catalyst) to yield the tribromide. Sodium bicarbonate is added to neutralize the HBr that’s also formed.

Deactivating Meta-Directing Substituents
• Electrophilic substitution reactions for nitrobenzene are 100,000 times slower than for benzene.
• The product mix contains mostly the meta isomer, only small amounts of the ortho and para isomers.
• Meta-directors deactivate all positions on the ring, but the meta position is less deactivated. =>

Chapter 17 18
Structure of Meta-Directing Deactivators
• The atom attached to the aromatic ring will have a partial positive charge.
• Electron density is withdrawn inductively along the sigma bond, so the ring is less electron-rich than benzene.

Halobenzenes
• Halogens are deactivating toward electrophilic substitution, but are ortho, para-directing!
• Since halogens are very electronegative, they withdraw electron density from the ring inductively along the sigma bond.
• But halogens have lone pairs of electrons that can stabilize the sigma complex by resonance. =>

Sigma Complexfor Bromobenzene
Ortho and para attacks produce a bromonium ionand other resonance structures.
=>
No bromonium ion possible with meta attack.

Multiple Substituents
The most strongly activating substituent will determine the position of the next substitution. May have mixtures.

Chapter 17 25
Friedel-Crafts Alkylation
• Synthesis of alkyl benzenes from alkyl halides and a Lewis acid, usually AlCl3.
• Reactions of alkyl halide with Lewis acid produces a carbocation which is the electrophile.
• Other sources of carbocations: alkenes + HF, or alcohols + BF3.
![Page 26: Chapter 17 Reactions of Aromatic Compounds](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061417/56813080550346895d965a26/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Chapter 17 26
Limitations ofFriedel-Crafts
• Reaction fails if benzene has a substituent that is more deactivating than halogen.
• Carbocations rearrange. Reaction of benzene with n-propyl chloride and AlCl3 produces isopropylbenzene.
• The alkylbenzene product is more reactive than benzene, so polyalkylation occurs. =>
![Page 27: Chapter 17 Reactions of Aromatic Compounds](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061417/56813080550346895d965a26/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Chapter 17 27
Friedel-CraftsAcylation
• Acyl chloride is used in place of alkyl chloride.
• The acylium ion intermediate is resonance stabilized and does not rearrange like a carbocation.
• The product is a phenyl ketone that is less reactive than benzene. =>
