15.2: Naming aromatic compounds: (arenes)large number on non-systematic names (Table 15.1)CH3benzenetolueneOCH3OHphenolanisoleNH2anilin estyreneGenerally, mono-substituted benzenes are named in a similarmanner as hydrocarbons with -benzene as the thylethyl)benzene(i sopropylbenzene)nitrobenzene7When the benzene ring is a substituent of a parent chain,referred to as a phenyl group. The benzene ring is is regardedas a substituent when the parent chain has greater than sixcarbons. The benzene ring is the parent when the longestalkyl chain substituent is six carbons or 1-methylbutyl)benzeneA phenyl substituent (C6H5-) is often abbreviates as PhA C6H5 -CH2- susbtitutent is often referred to as a benzylgroup (Bn-)ParentchainBenzylgroup84

Structure of Benzene:Kekule benzene: two forms are in rapid equilibrium154 pm134 pm All bonds are 139 pm (intermediate between C-C and C C) Electron density is distributed evenly between the six carbons Structure is planar, hexagonal C–C–C bond angles are 120 Each carbon is sp2 and has a p orbital perpendicular tothe plane of the six-membered ring13Arrows in organic chemistryReaction arrowEquilibrium arrowResonance arrowMechanism arrowsDouble-headed arrowSingle-headed arrow147

Drawing and Interpreting Resonance Forms(chapter 2.5 and 2.6)1.No one resonance forms accurately depicts the structure of the molecule.The real structure is a composite or hybrid of all resonance forms2.Resonance forms differ only by the placement of π- or non-bonding electrons.Neither the position or hybridization of the atoms changes.3.Resonance forms are not necessarily equivalent. While all resonance forms contributeto the actual structure (resonance hybrid), some forms may contribute more.4.All resonance forms must be proper Lewis structures.5.The actual resonance hybrid is more stable than any single resonance form.6.In general, the greater the number of resonance forms, the more stable the resonancehybrid.1515.4: Molecular orbitals of benzenes: (figure 15.3)six AO’s six MO’s!6!4!5!2!3six p-orbitals!1Degenerate orbitals: orbitalsthat have the sameenergyΨ1: zero nodesΨ2 and Ψ3: one nodeΨ4 and Ψ5: two nodesΨ6: three nodeBondingAnti-bonding168

Frost Circles: relative energies of the molecular orbitals ofcyclic, conjugated systemsInscribe the cyclic, conjugated molecule into a circle so that avertex is at the bottom. The relative energies of theMO’s are where the ring atoms intersect the circlebenzene:anti-bonding MO'snon-bondinglevelbonding MO'sBenzene6 !-electronsFor aromatic compounds, such as benzene,the bonding MO's will be filled.cyclobutadiene:anti-bonding MOnon-bonding MO'sbonding MOCyclobutadiene4 !-electronsFor anti- aromatic compounds, such ascyclobutadiene, there will be unpairedelectrons in bonding, non-bonding orantibonding MO's.1915.6: Aromatic ionsHH Cl AgBF4HBF4HHHH ClHHH AgClHH AgBF4HHHBF4 AgClH"2HH"3"1H4n 2 2n 0aromaticcyclopropenyl cation2 !-electronsHHHHHcyclopentadienyl cation4 !-electrons"4"5"2"3"14n 4n 1anti-aromatic2010

15.7: Aromatic HeterocyclesHeterocycle: any cyclic compound that contains ring atom(s)other than carbon (N, O, S, SOthiazoleoxazoleCyclic compounds that contain only carbon are calledcarbocyclesHeterocyclic aromatic compounds are numerous, commonand a very important class of organic compoundsNomenclature for heterocyclic compounds is specialized 23Pyridineπ-electron structure resembles benzene (6 π-electrons)The nitrogen lone pair electrons are not part of thearomatic system (perpendicular orbital)N6 π-electrons2412

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbonsAromatic compounds can have rings that share aset of carbon atoms (fused rings)Compounds from fused benzene or aromaticheterocyclic rings are themselves aromaticNaphthalene: 4n 2 10, n 2 note: Hückels rule is strictlyfor monocyclic aromatic compound, its application topolycyclic aromatic compounds is tenuous.2715.10: Spectroscopy of Aromatic CompoundsIR: Aromatic ring C–H stretching at 3030 cm 1 andpeaks from 1450 to 1600 cm -disubstituted:690-710 cm-1 and 730-770 cm-1735-770 cm-1690-710 cm-1 and 810-850 cm-128810-840 cm-114
