16 Electrophilic Attack on Derivatives of Benzene: Substituents Control Regioselectivity The preceding chapter introduced you to the properties and chemistry of benzene itself. In this chapter the chemistry is expanded to include several new reactions not only of benzene but also of derivatives of benzene containing various substituents. The text focuses on the effects of substituents on the chemistry of the benzene ring. The first and rate-determining step of electrophilic substitution is the formation of a delocalized cation. Different types of substituents can affect the stability of this cation and make its formation easier or harder. Substituents on the ring also direct the attack of an electrophile to specific positions. This study guide chapter contains information that may help you avoid a lot of memorization. You will see that the effect of a substituent on benzene chemistry can be predicted from a relatively straightforward examination of its electronic characteristics. Outline of the Chapter 16-1 Activation or Deactivation by Substituents on the Benzene Ring 16-2 Directing Inductive Effects of Alkyl Groups 16-3 Effects of Substituents in Conjugation with the Benzene Ring 16-4 Electrophilic Attack on Disubstituted Benzenes Effects of substituents on the reactivity and regioselectivity of further electrophilic substitution on a benzene ring. 16-5 Synthetic Strategies General principles and useful new reactions. 16-6 Reactivity of Polycyclic Benzenoid Aromatics What happens when two or more benzene rings are fused together. 16-7 Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Cancer Keys to the Chapter3 16-1 through 16-3. Directing Effects: Activation and Deactivation Don’t forget the basics: Electrophiles seek electrons! So, reactivity of a benzene ring toward electrophiles will be enhanced by substituents that donate electron density to the ring, and it will be reduced by substituents that withdraw electron density from the ring. “Reactivity” in this context is the rate at which substitution occurs, which is determined by the rate-determining step—electrophilic attack to form a carbocation.

292 • Chapter 16 ELECTROPHILIC ATTACK ON DERIVATIVES OF BENZENE: SUBSTITUENTS CONTROL REGIOSELECTIVITY groups (activating groups) will stabilize the cation, lowering the transition state energy for its formation and speeding up the reaction, and electron-withdrawing groups (deactivating groups) will do just the opposite. Furthermore, these effects will differ at different positions around the ring relative to the location of the substituents already present, giving rise to directing effects. Both inductive and resonance effects are involved. The favored reaction proceeds through the most stabilized (or least destabilized) intermediate carbocation. Study carefully the resonance forms pictured for the possible cations derived from electrophilic attack on methylbenzene and (trifluoromethyl)benzene (Section 16-2), and on benzenamine (aniline), benzoic acid, and a halobenzene (Section 16-3). Notice the types of groups that fall into the different categories in Table 16-1. In particular, notice the following two general trends: 1. All substituents with lone pairs on the atom attached to the benzene ring are ortho, para directors. 2. All substituents that have a positively polarized () atom lacking a lone pair attached to the benzene ring are meta directors. These generalizations always hold and can be used as aids to help you remember whether a group belongs in one category or the other. 16-5. Synthetic Strategies This section shows how to plan syntheses of multiply substituted benzenes. It also illustrates the interconversion of NH2 and NO2, reduction of CPO to CH2, use of SO3H as a para-blocking group, and several other valuable synthetic “tricks.” 16-6. Reactivity of Polycyclic Benzenoid Aromatics Fused polycyclics such as naphthalene, anthracene, and phenanthrene exhibit both similarities and differences with respect to benzene. For example, electrophilic aromatic substitution occurs but is generally easier with the polycyclics and proceeds with milder reagents. The activation energies for attack are lower because the intermediate cations are more highly delocalized (more resonance forms!) and, therefore, lower in energy. If the rings are not identically substituted, reaction occurs at the most activated ring. Substituents have the same directing and activating/deactivating effects you saw with benzene. Fused polycyclics also have an increased tendency to undergo addition reaction, which are rare for benzene itself. As a general rule of thumb, additions occur in such a way as to preserve intact benzene rings as much as possible. So, additions to both anthracene and phenanthrene occur at the 9,10 positions, leaving two simple benzene rings intact. Solutions to Problems 28.

Solutions to Problems • 293 30. (a) (b) In each series of compounds, the benzene ring with two alkyl group substituents is most activated, the one with two carbonyl group substituents is most deactivated, and the one with one of each is intermediate. 31. The two methyl substituents in 1,3-dimethylbenzene reinforce each other’s activating and directing effects: They both direct subsequent electrophilic attack to positions 4 and 6 on the ring. For example, position 4 is ortho to the methyl group at C3 and para to the methyl group at C1, so it is doubly activated for subsequent substitution. In either 1,2- or 1,4-dimethylbenzene (o- or p-xylene) the two methyl groups direct to different carbons in the ring. For example, in 1,2-dimethylbenzene, the methyl group at C1 directs to positions 4 and 6, while the methyl group at C2 directs to positions 3 and 5. Another way of looking at the situation is to notice that the intermediate cation resulting from attack at C4 on 1,3-dimethylbenzene has two resonance contributors in which the cationic carbon is methyl-substituted: Therefore the energy of this cation is lower, and the activation barrier associated with its formation is reduced. Its formation is relatively fast. In contrast, none of the cations derived from electrophilic attack on either 1,2- or 1,4-dimethylbenzene are directly stabilized by more than one of the methyl groups. They are all higher in energy, and their formation requires surmounting a larger activation barrier. 32.

Changing from a small (methyl) group to a very bulky (1,1-dimethylethyl) substituent will strongly sterically inhibit ortho substitution. Reactions (c) and (d) give rise to almost entirely para-disubstituted products. 33. The position at which substitution occurs is determined by the directing effect of the substituent that is already present in the starting compound. Methoxy and chloro are ortho, para-directing groups. Most of the time they direct incoming electrophiles to the para position, especially if the electrophile is somewhat bulky, as is the case in (a) and (d).

Solutions to Problems • 295 35. Statement is correct. All meta-directors deactivate the entire ring by inductive electron withdrawal. Deactivation at the ortho and para positions is most intense as a result of resonance (see, for example, the answer to Problem 34). Meta substitution occurs only because the deactivation is felt least strongly at that position. 36. Solve the problem by examining the structures, in particular the resonance forms, of the carbocation that is produced by attachment of a generic electrophile, E, to each of the three possible positions on one of the benzene rings: ortho, meta, and para, with respect to the other ring. Use principles developed in this chapter to evaluate the relative stabilities of these carbocations. The more stable carbocations should form faster and will determine the major product(s). (a) Substitution ortho: attach the electrophile to either ring (they are equivalent), at the position adjacent to the bond connecting the two rings. Initially, we see the same three resonance forms that we can draw for substitution on benzene itself—the top three forms in the brackets below. However, having delocalized the positive charge to the position of attachment of the second ring (top right), we can continue to use the double bonds of this ring to delocalize further, giving us three more resonance forms (bottom three in brackets), for a total of six. (b) Substitution meta: attach the electrophile one position further removed from the bond between the rings, the meta position. Draw the resonance forms for the carbocation. Notice now that the positive charge is no longer delocalized to the position of attachment to the second ring. This ring is incapable of providing additional resonance stabilization beyond that of the three original forms present in the ring on which the substitution took place. (c) Substitution para: attach the electrophile and proceed as before. As was the case for substitution ortho, one of the three initial forms places the positive charge at the ring connection position, permitting three more resonance forms to participate in stabilizing the intermediate. (The second and third resonance forms in the top group of three have been written in reverse order—and the electron-pushing arrows modified accordingly—so that the form at the right leads naturally to the three forms in the bottom group of three.)

Additional resonance forms provide additional stabilization, and therein lies the answer. Substitution either ortho or para leads to a carbocation delocalized throughout both rings, with a total of six resonance forms, while meta substitution gives a cation limited to delocalization in only one of the rings, with only three contributing resonance forms. The meta cation is less stable, higher in energy, requires surmounting a higher activation energy barrier to form, and therefore forms more slowly. The phenyl ring as a substituent is thus an ortho, para-directing group with respect to electrophilic aromatic substitution. It is also activating, again a consequence of the additional stabilization of the cation formed upon ortho or para substitution, relative to the cation formed from substitution on benzene itself. 37. Where both ortho and para products are formed, the para is generally the major one.

For attack at C4, you have The cations are more stable, the transition states leading to them are lower in energy, and they form faster. Substitution mainly occurs at C4/6 (C2 is a sterically hindered position because of the methyls on either side). You should check for yourself that electrophilic substitution on the ortho and para isomers cannot lead to such a doubly stabilized intermediate cation. (b) Three methyl groups, but the principle to be applied is the same: Look for positions that are doubly or triply activated. In each structure count up the number of methyls ortho or para to each open position. The last should be the most reactive toward electrophiles: Each vacant position is activated by being ortho or para to all three methyl groups. By the way, the reactivity difference between the 1,3,5 isomer and the other two is quite large, about a factor of 200 in rate. 40.

Both groups are located in meta positions relative to the bond between the rings. Problem 36 revealed that phenyl rings as substituents are ortho, para directing. Therefore electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions performed on biphenyl cannot serve as an entry to the preparation of this important compound. 43. (a) NMR shows two sets of benzene hydrogens in a 2 : 3 integration ratio, and the IR bands at 685 and 735 cm1 indicate a monosubstituted benzene. This analysis leads to the only logical answer, bromobenzene, C6H5Br, which is made from benzene Br2 and FeBr3. (b) NMR shows three benzene hydrogens, a 1 H triplet and a 2 H doublet; what you would expect for three hydrogens in adjacent positions around a ring, with the end ones equivalent: CHOCHOCH. What else is there? A 2 H lump at 4.5 ppm together with two bands in the IR at 3382 and 3478 cm1 strongly suggest an NH2 group. How about an atom count? You’re up to six carbons for the benzene ring, five H and an N. The only formula that will fit is C6H5Br2N. Putting the NH2 on the benzene ring and then attaching the two Br’s one each side of it fits the data: 2,6-dibromobenzenamine is the answer. (c) The NH2 is again present, but the NMR now shows four benzene hydrogens in a complicated pattern. The IR helps: The band at 745 cm1 is in the range for ortho disubstituted rings. 2-Bromobenzenamine is the answer: C6H6BrN.
