Substitution Reactions of Benzene and Its
Derivatives Benzene is aromatic: a cyclic conjugated
compound with 6 electrons.
Reactions of benzene lead to the retention of thearomatic core.
Electrophilic aromatic substitution replaces a
proton on benzene with another electrophile.

Bromination of Aromatic Rings
Benzenes electrons participate as a Lewis base inreactions with Lewis acids.
The product is formed by loss of a proton, which is
replaced by bromine. FeBr3 is added as a catalyst to polarize the bromine
reagent.

Addition Intermediate in Bromination
The addition of bromine occurs in two steps.
In the first step the electrons act as a nucleophiletoward Br2 (in a complex with FeBr3).
This forms a cationic addition intermediate frombenzene and a bromine cation.
The intermediate is higher in energy (not aromatic).

Formation of Product from Intermediate
The cationic additionintermediate transfers a
proton to FeBr4- (from Br-and FeBr3).
This restores aromaticity
(in contrast with additionin alkenes).

This cation intermediate (Whelandintermediate) was proposed byGeorge Willard Wheland (1907-1974).

Aromatic Chlorination and Iodination
Chlorine and iodine (but not fluorine, which is tooreactive) can produce aromatic substitution with theaddition of other reagents to promote the reaction.
Chlorination requires FeCl3 .
Iodine must be oxidized to form a more powerful I+
species (with Cu+ or peroxide).

Alkali Fusion of Aromatic Sulfonic Acids
Sulfonic acids are useful as intermediates.
Heating with NaOH at 300 oC followed by neutralizationwith acid replaces the SO3H group with an OH.
Example is the synthesis of p-cresol.

Limitations of the Friedel-Crafts Alkylation
Only alkylhalides can be used (F, Cl, I, Br).
Arylhalides and vinylichalides do not react (theircarbocations are too hard to form).
Will not work with rings containing an amino groupsubstituent or a strongly electron-withdrawing group.

Control Problems
Multiple alkylations can occur because the firstalkylation is activating.

Substituent Effects in Aromatic Rings
Substituents can cause a compound to be (much) more or(much) less reactive than benzene.
Substituents affect the orientation of the reaction the
positional relationship is controlled. ortho-and para-directing activators, ortho-and para-
directingdeactivators, and meta-directing deactivators.

Inductive Effects
Controlled by electronegativity and the polarity ofbonds in functional groups.
Halogens, C=O, CN, and NO2 withdrawelectronsthrough bond connected to ring.
These are called Electron Withdrawing Group.

electrons flow from the substituents to the ring.
Effect is greatest at orthoand para.

Meta-Disubstituted Compounds Are Unreactive
The reaction site is too hindered. To make aromatic rings with three adjacent substituents,
it is best to start with an ortho-disubstituted compound.

intermediate in which C1 and C2 are equivalentmust be benzyne.

Structure of Benzyne
Benzyne is a highly distorted alkyne.
The triple bond uses sp2-hybridized carbons, not theusual sp.
The triple bond has one bond formed by ppoverlap and by weak sp2sp2 overlap.

Reduction of Aromatic Compounds
Aromatic rings are inert to catalytic hydrogenationunder conditions that reduce alkene double bonds.
Can selectively reduce an alkene double bond in the
presence of an aromatic ring. Reduction of an aromatic ring requires more powerful
reducing conditions (high pressure or rhodium
catalysts).

Ketone is converted into an alkylbenzene by catalytic
hydrogenation over Pd catalyst.
