3. F-C multiple alkylation can occur more rapidly than
monoalkylation. The first alkyl group activates the ring
to the second substitution.
4. The steps in the Friedel Crafts Alkylation are reversible
and rearrangments may occur.

limitation of Friedel-Crafts alkylations; acylium

Di- and Polysubstitution
 Two
ways to characterize the substituent
• Orientation:
• Some substituents direct preferentially to ortho & para
positions; others to meta positions.
• Substituents are classified as either ortho-para directing or
meta directing toward further substitution.
• Rate
• Some substituents cause the rate of a second substitution to be
greater than that for benzene itself; others cause the rate to be
lower.
• Substituents are classified as activating or deactivating toward
further substitution.

Di- and Polysubstitution
 Generalizations:
• Directivity: Alkyl, phenyl, and all substituents in which
the atom bonded to the ring has an unshared pair of
electrons are ortho-para directing. All other
substituents are meta directing.
• Activation: All ortho-para directing groups except the
halogens are activating toward further substitution.
The halogens are weakly deactivating.

Theory of Directing Effects
 The
rate of EAS is limited by the slowest step in
the reaction.
 For almost every EAS, the rate-determining step
is attack of E+ on the aromatic ring to give a
resonance-stabilized cation intermediate.
 The more stable this cation intermediate, the
faster the rate-determining step and the faster
the overall reaction.
22-31
Theory of Directing Effects
 The
orientation is controlled by the stability of
the carbocation being formed by attack of the
electrophile.
 Products
are formed under kinetic control.
22-32

Activating-Deactivating Resonance Effects
 Any
resonance effect, such as that of -NH2, -OH,
and -OR, that delocalizes the positive charge on
the cation by has an activating effect toward
further EAS.
 Any
resonance effect, such as that of -NO2, -CN, C=O, and -SO3H, that decreases electron density
on the ring deactivates the ring toward further
EAS.
22-37
Activating-Deactivating Inductive Effects
 Any
inductive effect, such as that of -CH3 or
other alkyl group, that releases electron density
toward the ring activates the ring toward further
EAS.
 Any
inductive effect, such as that of halogen,
-NR3+, -CCl3, or -CF3, that decreases electron
density on the ring deactivates the ring toward
further EAS.
22-38
Activating-Deactivating: Halogens
• For the halogens, the inductive and resonance effects
oppose each other. Inductive is somewhat stronger.
• Result: halogens are deactivating but ortho-para
directing.

Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution
 Aryl
halides do not undergo nucleophilic
substitution by either SN1 or SN2 pathways.
 They do undergo nucleophilic substitutions, but
by two mechanisms.
• Benzyne using strong base.
• Addition/elimination typically with nitro activating
groups.
22-40
Benzyne Intermediates
 When
heated under pressure with aqueous
NaOH, chlorobenzene is converted to sodium
phenoxide.
• Neutralization with HCl gives phenol.

Orientation
 The
methyl group is essentially just a marker to
allow the observation of the mixture of products.
 Consider the methoxy group, -OCH3, stabilizing
of positive charge via resonance but also
inductively withdrawing.
 The methoxy group is not in resonance with the
negative charge of the anion, Inductive Effect
dominates. Next slide.
