BenzeneBenzene General properties: Display aromaticity. The carbon-hydrogen ratio is high. They burn with a sooty yellow flame because of the
high carbon-hydrogen ratio. They undergo electrophilic subsitution and nucleophilic
substitution Give both pleasant and unpleasant odors

BenzeneBenzene
Resonance structure for benzene (1930s)
◦ The theory of resonance developed by Linus Pauling provided the first adequate description of the structure of benzene.
◦ According to the theory of resonance, certain molecules and ions are best described by writing two or more Lewis structures. The real molecule or ion is a resonance hybridresonance hybrid of these structures.
◦ Each individual Lewis structure is called a contributing contributing structurestructure..
◦ We show that the real molecule is a resonance hybrid of the two or more Lewis structures by using a double-headed arrow between them.

BenzeneBenzene◦ Here are two contributing structures for benzene;
◦ The resonance hybrid has some of the characteristics of each Lewis contributing structure.
◦ The length of a carbon-carbon bond in benzene, for example, is midway between that of a carbon-carbon single bond and a double bond.

NomenclatureNomenclature◦ Monosubstituted alkylbenzenes are named as
derivatives of benzene; for example, ethylbenzene.◦ The IUPAC system retains certain common names for
several of the simpler monosubstituted alkylbenzenes.

NomenclatureNomenclatureWhen two substituents occur on a benzene ring, three isomers are possible; they may be located by:◦ numbering the atoms of the ring or ◦ using the locators ortho (o), meta (m), and para
(p).

NomenclatureNomenclatureFor three or more substituents:◦ If one of the substituents imparts a special name,
name the molecule as a derivative of that parent.◦ If none of the substituents imparts a special name,
number the substituents to give the smallest set of numbers, and list them in alphabetical order before the ending "benzene".

Reactions of BenzeneReactions of BenzeneBy far the most characteristic reaction of aromatic compounds is substitution at a ring carbon.◦ This reaction is called aromatic substitutionaromatic substitution.◦ Some groups that can be introduced directly on the
ring are the halogens, the nitro (-NO2) group, and the sulfonic acid (-SO3H) group.

PhenolsPhenolsThe functional group of a phenol is a hydroxyl ( -OH) group bonded to a benzene ring.◦ Name substituted phenols either as derivatives of
phenol or by common names.

PhenolsPhenols Most phenols are weak acids, with pKa values
approximately 10. They are insoluble in water but react with strong
bases, such as NaOH and KOH to form water-soluble salts.

Phenols as AntioxidantsPhenols as Antioxidants
Hydroperoxides:
◦ Are unstable.◦ Under biological conditions, they degrade to short-
chain aldehydes and carboxylic acids with unpleasant "rancid" smells.
◦ Similar formation of hydroperoxides in the low-density lipoproteins deposited on the walls of arteries leads to cardiovascular disease in humans.
◦ In addition, many effects of aging are thought to be the result of hydroperoxide formation and their subsequent degradation.

Phenols as AntioxidantsPhenols as Antioxidants◦Vitamin E is a natural antioxidant.
◦ BHT and BHA are synthetic antioxidants.
◦ These compounds are radical scavengers.◦ They form stable radicals and thus break the cycle
of chain propagation steps; they prevent further formation of destructive hydroperoxides.
