Question Answer
why is Kekule's structure not correct? 1. all 6 C-C bond are the same length not different. 2.Reaction usually undergoes substitution not the electrophilic addition expected. 3. 2 isomers would be made- 1,2 di-bromobenzene. 4. the enthalpy of hydrogen- the actual is different to the theoretical.
why is benzene more stable? The theoretical energy released should be 360kj/mol but only releases 208 kj/mol- delocalised energy from delocalised electrons.
what is Kekules structure?
what type of reaction does benzene under go? substitution reactions- electrophilic substitution.
What is the process of electrophillic substitution in benzene?
what are the uses of nitrated benzene Explosives - Trinitromethlybenzene Azo Dyes
How are Azo dyes produced? The nitro group is reduced to an amine by: 1. Sn and 6M HCl 2. catalytic hydrogenation using N2 and H2 (3H2)
what is the process of hydrogenation?
what are the conditions of nitration Conc. HNO3 Conc. H2SO4- catalyst 50°C
what is the overall equation for the formation of the electrophile. in electrophillic substitution (nitration) HNO3 +2H2SO4 -> N+O2 + 2HSO4- + H3O+
what catalyst is needed for benzene to react with acyl chlorides Aluminium chloride catalyst
what productis made between the reaction of acyl chloride and benzene Aromatic ketone
what conditions must be present in the reaction between benzene with acyl chlorides and why? Anhydrous conditions- prevents hydrolysis
draw the reaction between benzene and acyl chlorides.
what is the overall equation for the formation of the electrophile in the benzene and acyl chloride reaction. AlCl4- + RCOCl -> AlCl4- + R-C+O
What does the AlCl3 act as A lewis Acid
Why does the AlCl3 act as a Lewis acid? It has a vacant orbital It can attract a lone pair of electrons- from the C-Cl bond.
What is the equation for the regeneration of a catalyst in electrophilic substitution AlCL4- + H+ -> HCl + AlCl3
