Sulfonation of benzene - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Br2, AlBr3 or FeBr3 - correct answer Installation of a bromine atom on an aromatic ring. Br+ is the electrophile HNO3, H2SO4 - correct answer nitration of benzene (NO2). NO2+ is the electrophile H2SO4 or SO3/H2SO4 - correct answer sulfonation of a benzene. HSO3+ is the electrophile Friedal-crafts alkylation of benzene - correct answer C w/ 3 alkyl groups, LG + LA or C w/ 3 alkyl groups, OH + H2SO4 or C w/ 2 alkyl groups, double bond + H2SO4 3' carbocation is the electrophile. ...

These notes cover electrophilic aromatic substitution, halogenation of benzene, nitration of benzene, sulfonation of benzene, nitration of toluene, ortho/meta/para locations of a benzene ring, directing substituents, friedel-crafts alkylation, friedel-crafts acylation, clemmenson reduction, gatterman-koch formylation, nucleophilic aromatic substitution, and addition reactions involving benzene derivatives.

This document is a summary of the Reactions of Aromatic Compounds Chapter of the organic chemistry 2 course. Notes are digitally taken, handwritten notes. 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 al...
