| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| In order for a ring to exhibit aromatic stability, the 6 π bonds participating in the ring must be what? | delocalized |
| What does delocalized electrons mean? | the electrons can participate in resonance |
| What does localized electrons mean? | the electrons cannot participate in resonance |
| What are the requirements Huchel's Rule states a ring must have to exhibit aromatic stability? | conjugated π bonds; cyclic; trigonal planar atoms, (4n+2) π electrons or non-bonding electrons |
| Can ions exhibit aromatic stability? | yes |
| What does aromatic stability of a conjugate base do to the acid? | it makes it much more acidic than you would have expected |
| A structure is aromatic if... | 1. fully conjugated ring with overlapping p-orbitals 2. meet Huchel's Rule: (4n+2) π electrons |
| A structure is antiaromatic if... | 1. fully conjugated ring with overlapping p-orbitals 2. has 4n π electrons |
| A structure is non-aromatic if... | 1. not a fully conjugated ring |
| Say you put benzene through an acylation reaction. Then, the product undergoes a Clemingson reduction. What reagents were used to due this reduction? | Zn(Hg), HCl, heat |
| What reaction contains these reagents: Zn(Hg), HCl, heat | Clemingson reduction |
| If you want to reduce nitrobenzene into aniline, what reagents are required? | 1)Zn, HCl 2)NaOH |
| You are given butylbenzene and the following reagents: 1) KMnO4, H2O, heat 2) H3O+ | benzoic acid |
| What reagents would produce benzoic acid from propylbenzene? | 1) KMnO4, H2O, heat 2) H3O+ |
| True or false: benzylic halides undergo SN1 very rapidly. | true |
| Why do benzylic halides undergo SN1 very rapidly? | benzylic halides are stabilized by the many resonance forms of the carbocation. |
| Elimination reactions can occur with benzylic halides. Would E1 or E2 be occurring if the following reagent is present: concentrated H2SO4. | E2 |
| Elimination reactions can occur with benzylic halides. Would E1 or E2 be occurring if the following reagent is present: NaOEt | E1 |
