Resource summary

Benzene
  1. Kekule's structure
    1. Alternate single and double bonds
      1. FOR - This can be hydrogenated to form cyclohexane
        1. C6H6+3H2 -- C6H12
        2. AGAINST - Only three isomers of dichlorobenzene but kekule predicted 4
          1. AGAINST - Should turn bromine water colourless as it is unsaturated but it doesn't
        3. Today's benzene
          1. Planar ring of 6 C's with 1.5 bonds between them and a ring of delocalized electrons above and below
          2. Stability of benzene
            1. Cyclohexene - cyclohexane has enthalpy change -120
              1. Kekule's value should be 3 times this = -360
                1. Actually -208 - a lot less
              2. More stale than predicted due to the rings of delocalized electrons
              3. Nitro compounds from benzene
                1. Electron ring create and area of high electron density - can be attacked by nucleophlies
                  1. HNO3+2H2SO4 = NO2++H3O++2HSO4-
                    1. Made in a two step process
                  2. Alfred Noble
                    1. C6H5NH2 = TNT
                      1. Made through hydration of nitration
                    2. Aromatic ketones from benzene
                      1. Friedel-Crafts acylation
                        1. CH3COCl+AlCl3 = CH3C+0+AlCl4-
