The Phenyl group
When a benzene ring is a substituent, the term phenyl is used (for C6H5) You may also see “Ph” or in place of “C6H5”
-Hsubstituent
Name the following molecules?
Phenyl group benzene
-
Dr. Hussein Al-Mughaid-5
The Benzyl group
“Benzyl” refers to “C6H5CH2”
benzyl alcohol

Disubstituted Benzenes
Relative positions on a benzene ring [ortho (o), meta(m), para(p)]
• Numbers can also be used to identify the relationship between the groups;
ortho- is 1,2-disubstituted, meta- is 1,3, and para- is 1,4.

How Benzene reacts
Dr. Hussein Al-Mughaid-11
•The characteristic reaction of benzene is electrophilic aromatic substitution— (a hydrogen atom is replaced by an electrophile).
-
Dr. Hussein Al-Mughaid-12
E E E
Step 1: Attack on the electrophile forms the sigma complex
Step 2: Loss of a proton gives the substitution product.
Mechanism of Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution
(carbocation intermediate, stabilized by resonance.
-
1. Bromination of Benzene
• Before the electrophilic aromatic substitution can take place, the electrophile must be
activated.
• A strong Lewis acid catalyst, such as FeBr3, should be used.
Dr. Hussein Al-Mughaid-13
-
Step 1: Electrophilic attack and formation of the sigma complex.
Step 2: Loss of a proton to give the products.
Mechanism for the Bromination of Benzene:
Steps 1 and 2

2. Chlorination of Benzene
• Chlorination is similar to bromination. AlCl3 is most often used as catalyst, but FeCl3 will also work.
Dr. Hussein Al-Mughaid-16
-
3. Nitration of Benzene
Dr. Hussein Al-Mughaid-17
• Sulfuric acid acts as a catalyst, allowing the reaction to be faster and at lower temperatures.
• HNO3 and H2SO4 react together to form the electrophile of the reaction: nitronium ion
(NO2+).
Protonation of nitric acid by the stronger sulfuric acid allows for the elimination of water and generation of the very electrophilic nitronium ion
electrophile
sulfuric acid nitric acid HNO3 + H2SO4 NO2 + H2O

Dr. Hussein Al-Mughaid-19
Fuming sulfuric acid ( 7% mixture of SO3 and H2SO4 ) is required as a catalyst to generate a more reactive electrophile [sulfonium ion = (+SO3H)]
4. Sulfonation of Benzene

5. Friedel-Crafts Acylation
Dr. Hussein Al-Mughaid-20
Step-1: Role of AlCl3 AlCl3 (Lewis acid) catalyst is required to generate the resonance
stabilized acylium ion (electrophile)

Dr. Hussein Al-Mughaid-21
Problem: Identify the acyl chloride that might be used in a Friedel-Crafts acylation for the following acylbenzenes:
-
6. Friedel-Crafts Alkylation
Dr. Hussein Al-Mughaid-22
• Reactive species is a carbocation (electrophile).
(Synthesis of alkyl benzenes)
• a Lewis acid, usually AlCl3 = Ionizes the alkyl halide( R-X).
gives
electrophile Lewis A-B complex

Dr. Hussein Al-Mughaid-23
Step 1: Attack on the carbocation forms the sigma complex
Step 2: Loss of a proton gives the substitution product.

Dr. Hussein Al-Mughaid-25
Substituents Effect
It depends on the nature of S
Second electrophilic aromatic substitution
The carbons are no
longer the same
Where S (substituent) direct the incoming(second) electrophile?
S
Electron withdrawing (EW)
Electron donating (ED)
-
Dr. Hussein Al-Mughaid-26
Q:How do I Know if the substituent(S) is ED or EW?
Look at the first atom attached to benzene ring.
Deactivate the ring(EWG)
S Have lone pair (at least)
Have positive or partially positive
Activate the ring(EDG)
O, N
O,P - director m- director

Exceptions:
An alkyl substituent that is bonded to a benzene ring is more electron donating than a hydrogen
1. Alkylbenzenes 2. halobenzenes
1. Alkyl groups(R)are weak activators
Ortho-para directors!
Electron Donating. How?
No lone pairs

Dr. Hussein Al-Mughaid-33
Ortho attack
para attack
meta attack
para attack

Dr. Hussein Al-Mughaid-34
2. Halogens are: weakly Deactivating but ortho-para directors
donate electrons into the ring via resonance(effect)
withdraw electrons inductively(Inductive effect)

Dr. Hussein Al-Mughaid-35
Which one is more reactive in electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction?
X = halogen

Relative Reactivity of Substituted Benzenes
Dr. Hussein Al-Mughaid-37
• Substituents on a benzene ring can affect two things: 1. Location of subsequent substitution rxns
2. Reactivity of ring toward further substitutions
More reactive Intermediate in reactivity less reactive
phenyl
-
The Power of S (Common substituents): Activator (strong, moderate, weak); deactivator (strong moderate, weak)
