Get started for freePredict the major products when the following compounds are irradiated by light and treated with (1) 1 equivalent of Br2 and (2) excess Br2.
(a) isopropylbenzene
(b) tetralin
Which reactions will produce the desired product in good yield? You may assume that aluminum chloride is added as a catalyst in each case. For the reactions that will not give a good yield of the desired product, predict the major products.
Reagents Desired Product
(a) benzene + n-butyl bromide n-butylbenzene
(b) ethylbenzene + tert-butyl chloride p-ethyl-tert-butylbenzene
(c) bromobenzene + ethyl chloride p-bromoethylbenzene
(d) benzamide (PhCONH3) + CH3 CH2 CI p-ethylbenzamide
(e) toluene + HNO3, H2SO4 , heat 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT)
What organocuprate reagent would you use for the following substitutions?
When anthracene is added to the reaction of chlorobenzene with concentrated NaOH at 350 °C, an interesting Diels–Alder adduct of the formula C20H14results. The proton NMR spectrum of the product shows a singlet of area 2 around d 3 and a broad singlet of area 12 around d 7. Propose a structure for the product, and explain why one of the aromatic rings of anthracene reacted as a diene.
Unlike most other electrophilic aromatic substitutions, sulfonation is often reversible. When one sample of toluene is sulfonated at 0 °C and another sample is sulfonated at 100 °C, the following ratios of substitution products result:
(a) Explain the change in the product ratios when the temperature is increased.
(b) Predict what will happen when the product mixture from the reaction at 0 °C is heated to 100 °C.
(c) Because the SO3Hgroup can be added to a benzene ring and removed later, it is sometimes called a blocking group. Show how 2,6-dibromotoluene can be made from toluene using sulfonation and desulfonation as intermediate steps in the synthesis
