Chapter 26: Problem 82

Draw and name all derivatives of benzene having the formula (a) \(\mathrm{C}_{8} \mathrm{H}_{10} ;\) (b) \(\mathrm{C}_{9} \mathrm{H}_{12}\).

Short Answer

Expert verified
The derivatives of benzene for the formula \(\mathrm{C}_8\mathrm{H}_{10}\) could include toluene, o-xylene, m-xylene, and p-xylene. The derivatives for the formula \(\mathrm{C}_9\mathrm{H}_{12}\) could include ethyltoluene, o-isopropyltoluene, m-isopropyltoluene, and p-isopropyltoluene.

Step by step solution

01

Drawing for \(\mathrm{C}_8\mathrm{H}_{10}\)

Firstly, draw a benzene ring which is a hexagon with a circle inside, representing \(\mathrm{C}_6\mathrm{H}_6\). Then, add two more carbons as a side chain or substituent. Add hydrogens to the carbons so that each carbon shares four bonds (each line represents a bond). The attached hydrogen atoms are normally omitted in these kinds of diagrams, but they are present as needed to make four bonds per carbon. For this molecular formula, the possible structures could be a toluene (one benzene ring with a methyl group and an ethyl group as substituents), or o-xylene, m-xylene, and p-xylene (a benzene ring with two methyl substitute at different positions).
02

Drawing for \(\mathrm{C}_9\mathrm{H}_{12}\)

Again, draw a benzene ring for \(\mathrm{C}_6\mathrm{H}_6\). Then, add three more carbons as a side chain or substituent. Attach hydrogens to the carbons so that each carbon forms four bonds. For this molecular formula, some of the possible structures could be ethyltoluene (one benzene ring with an ethyl group and a methyl group as substituents), or o-, m-, p-isopropyltoluene (a benzene ring with an isopropyl group and a methyl group at different positions).
