1. The Discovery of Benzene

Benzene:

In 1825, Faraday isolated benzene
from a compressed illuminating gas
that had been made by pyrolyzing
whale oil
or
Ch. 14 - 2

In 1834, a German chemist, Eilhardt
Mitscherlich, synthesized benzene by
heating benzoic acid with calcium oxide

+ CaCO3
Ch. 14 - 3
In 19th century, organic compounds
were classified as being either
aliphatic or aromatic
 Aliphatic
● The chemical behavior of a
compound was “fatlike”
 Aromatic
● The compound had a low
hydrogen-to-carbon ratio and it was
“fragrant”

Ch. 14 - 4
2. Nomenclature of Benzene
Derivatives

Naming monosubstituted benzenes
● In many simple compounds, benzene is
the parent name and the substituent is
simply indicated by a prefix
F
Cl
Br
NO2
Fluorobenzene Chlorobenzene Bromobenzene Nitrobenzene
Ch. 14 - 5
● For other simple and common
compounds, the substituent and the
benzene ring taken together may form a
commonly accepted parent name


Naming disubstituted benzenes
● When two substituents are present,
their relative positions are indicated by
the prefixes ortho-, meta-, and para(abbreviated o-, m-, and p-) or by the
use of numbers


Naming benzene rings with more than
two groups
● If more than two groups are present on
the benzene ring, their positions must
be indicated by the use of numbers
● The benzene ring is numbered so as to
give the lowest possible numbers to
the substituents

● When the C6H5 group is named as a
substituent, it is called a phenyl
group
● A hydrocarbon composed of one
saturated chain and one benzene
ring is usually named as a
derivative of the larger structural
unit. However, if the chain is
unsaturated, the compound may be
named as a derivative of that chain,
regardless of ring size

5. The Thermodynamic Stability
of Benzene

Since p bonds are formed from side-way
overlap of p orbitals, p electron clouds are
above & below the plane of the double bond
p-electrons above
and below ring

Structure of Benzene

Å) (compare with C–C single bond 1.54
Å, C=C double bond 1.34 Å)

Ch. 14 - 29
7. Hückel’s Rule: The 4n + 2 p
Electron Rule


Hückel’s rule is concerned with
compounds containing one planar ring in
which each atom has a p orbital as in
benzene
Planar monocyclic rings containing 4n + 2 p
electrons, where n = 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on
(i.e., rings containing 2, 6, 10, 14 . . . etc. p
electrons), have closed shells of delocalized
electrons like benzene and have substantial
resonance energies
Ch. 14 - 30

Hückel’s rule states that planar
monocyclic rings with 2, 6, 10,
14 . . . delocalized electrons
should be aromatic

Energies of p Molecular Orbitals in

Ch. 14 - 32

The p molecular orbitals that cyclooctatetraene
would have if it were planar. Notice that, unlike
benzene, this molecule is predicted to have two
nonbonding orbitals, and because it has eight p
electrons, it would have an unpaired electron in
each of the two nonbonding orbitals. Such a
system would not be expected to be aromatic.
Ch. 14 - 33

The bonds of cyclooctatetraene are
known to be alternately long and short;
X-ray studies indicate that they are
1.48 and 1.34 Å, respectively
Ch. 14 - 34
7B. The Annulenes

Hückel’s rule predicts that annulenes
will be aromatic if their molecules have
4n + 2 p electrons and have a planar
carbon skeleton
Ch. 14 - 35

All these (4n + 2)p, planar
annulenes are aromatic
(4n + 2) p

7C. NMR Spectroscopy: Evidence for
Electron Delocalization in
Aromatic Compounds
The 1H NMR spectrum of benzene
consists of a single unsplit signal at
d 7.27
 The signal occurs at relatively high
frequency, which is compelling
evidence for the assertion that the p
electrons of benzene are delocalized

Ch. 14 - 39

The circulation of p electrons in
benzene creates an induced magnetic
field that, at the position of the protons,
reinforces the applied magnetic field.
This reinforcement causes the protons
to be strongly deshielded and to have a
relatively high frequency (d ~ 7)
absorption

7E. Aromatic, Antiaromatic, and
Nonaromatic Compounds

An aromatic compound has its p
electrons delocalized over the entire
ring and it is stabilized by the pelectron delocalization
Ch. 14 - 46


One way to evaluate whether a cyclic
compound is stabilized by delocalization of p
electrons through its ring is to compare it
with an open-chain compound having the
same number of p electrons
Based on sound calculations or experiments
● If the ring has lower p-electron energy, then
the ring is aromatic
● If the ring and the chain have the same pelectron energy, then the ring is
nonaromatic
● If the ring has greater p-electron energy than
the open chain, then the ring is
antiaromatic
