Sulfonation of benzene Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Chapter 18 EAS Questions and Answers 100% correct Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution -reaction in which an electrophile is substituted for a hydrogen on an aromatic ring -many different types of EAS reactions based on what functional group replaces the hydrogen Alkene vs Benzene Alkenes undergo addition reactions but Benzenes react differently under similar reagents. Don't confuse the two, one is Aromatic and the other isn't. Aromatic Requirements The organic structure must...

This document contains digitally taken, handwritten notes for the reactions of aromatic compounds chapter. It starts with the mechanism of electrophilic aromatic substitution, which is the foundational knowledge needed to understand this chapter. Mechanisms include halogenation, nitration, sulfonation, Friedel Craft’s alkylation and many others. It also talks about activators and deactivators, synthesis of disubstituted benzene derivatives. It also thoroughly explains nine different reaction c...

In depth notes involving benzene reactions

Notes on the types of carbocations and their relative reactivity, their reactions including rearrangements and shifts, how readily they will migrate. Reactions of benzene including Fiedel Crafts alkylation and acylation, nitration, sulfonation. A look at further substitution and the impact of resonance, inductive effects and steric factors at controlling additional substitution. Ways to form substituted aromatics are then given including Diels Alder and carbonyl condensation. A few reactions of ...
