The Structure of Benzene
Hydrogenation of Benzene:
Kekulé’s Equilibrium Model
of Benzene
Kekulé’s structure failed to explain benzene’s low
chemical reactivity.
Cyclohexene enthalpy change of hydrogenation = 120kJmol⁻₁ .
Therefore benzene must have an enthalpy change
of hydrogenation should be -360kJmol⁻₁ .
(3x cyclohexene, 3x C=C)
If C=C bonds were present, benzene should
react similarly to alkenes.
The enthalpy change is actually -208kJmol⁻₁ .
Each C=C bond would be expected to
decolourise bromine water.
The real structure of benzene is more stable than
Kekulé’s structure.
Benzene does NOT take part in electrophilic
addition reactions as expected from the C=C
bonds.
This energy is known as the resonance energy of
benzene.
C-C single bonds and C=C bonds have
different bond lengths. Kathleen
Lonsdale found that all of the carbon
bonds were the same length 0.139nm. (between the lengths of CC and C=C).

The Delocalised Model of Benzene
The Delocalised Model has the following features:
o
o
Cyclic hydrocarbon – 6 C molecules and 6 H molecules.
Arranged in a planar hexagonal ring where each C is bonded to 2 other C atoms and
1 H atoms.
o
o
The shape is a trigonal planar with a bond angle of 120°.
Each C atom has 4 outer shell electrons. 3 of these e¯ bond to 2 other C atoms and 1
H atom. The bonds in this plane are called sigma bonds. The 4th outer shell e⁻ in a
2p orbital above and below the plane of the carbon atoms.
o
The e⁻ in the p orbital overlap creating a ring of electron density above and below
the plane of carbons.
o
The pi-bonds spread over all 6 carbons and the ring is said to be delocalised.
Under normal conditions, benzene does not:
o
o
o
Decolourise bromine water
React with strong acids such as HCl
React with halogens such as bromine, chlorine or iodine.
Addition reactions will disrupt the delocalisation of the ring
structure.
Instead, Benzene takes part in substitution
reactions – a hydrogen (H) is replaced with
another group. The organic product retains
the delocalised structure.

Reactions of Benzene
Nitration of Benzene
Benzene’s high electron density attracts
electrophiles.
To preserve the ring’s stability, benzene
takes part in ELECTROPHILIC
SUBSTITUION reactions.
C₆H₆ + HNO₃
C₆H₅NO₂ + H₂O
HNO₃ + H₂SO₄
Formation of NO₂⁺:
NO₂⁺ + HSO₄⁻ + H₂O
The H⁺ reacts with the HSO₄⁻ to reform H₂SO₄.
This is acting as a catalyst.
H ⁺ + HSO₄⁻
H₂SO₄
Conditions: conc. HNO₃, conc. H₂SO₄, 50°C

Reactions of Benzene
Halogenation of Benzene
Benzene will react with halogens in the
presence of a HALOGEN CARRIER.
Halogen Carriers Include:
FeCl₃
FeBr₃
AlCl₃
AlBr₃
Iron Metal
Bromobenzene is used
in the preparation of
pharmaceuticals.
Chlorobenzene
is used as a
solvent and in
pesticides.
Formation of Br⁺ (or Cl):
Br₂ + FeBr₃
Br⁺ + FeBr₄⁻
Regeneration of Br⁺ (or Cl):
H⁺ + FeBr₄⁻
FeBr₃ + HBr
5
Reactivity of Alkenes and Benzene
Cyclohexene and Bromine Water:
Benzene and Bromine:
The pi-bond is localised – this gives
cyclohexene HIGH ELECTRON DENSITY.
Benzene has delocalised electrons
spread over a ring structure. Alkenes
have localised electrons.
The pi-bond repels the electrons in the
Br-Br bond inducing a dipole. The Br₂
molecule becomes polar.
The electrons in the double bond
attract to the Br+ causing the double
bond to break. This forms a positive
carbocation.
The Br-Br bond breaks via heterolytic
fission forming Br⁻.
The Br⁻ is attracted to the intermediate
carbocation forming a covalent bond.
Benzene has LOWER ELECTRON
DENSITY and CANNOT POLARISE Br₂.
Benzene is therefore resistant to
reactions with non-polar halogens.
A halogen carrier is needed to generate
a more powerful electrophile.
The greater charge on Br₂ can attract
the pi-electrons from benzene so the
reaction can take place.
Bromine +Benzene = orange
Bromine + Benzene + Iron fillings =
decolourised and white fumes of
hydrogen bromide gas.

Difficult to distinguish between Heptan-2-one
and Cyclohexanone as the b.ps are very similar.
The 2,4-DNP derivatives have different m.ps
thus allowing easy identification.
Filter and recrystallise the 2,4-DNP derivative and
record its melting point. This is compared against a
database.

Esters
COOHS + OHs produces an ESTER & H₂O
Acid Catalyst: H₂SO₄
e.g. Ethanol + Propanoic Acid = Ethyl Propanoate + Water
Ester Hydrolysis:
An acid anhydride is formed by the removal of H₂O from
2 molecules of carboxylic acids.
This produces an ESTER and a CARBOXYLIC ACID.
This is the reverse of esterification.
It ADDS WATER.
Acid Hydrolysis = reflux + aqueous acid,
reversible
This process requires gentle heating.
Esters from ACID ANHYDRIDES produce a GREATER YIELD.
Alkaline Hydrolysis = reflux + aqueous
alkali, makes sodium salt, nonreversible
Esters are used in perfumes and as flavourings.

COMPLETELY into CO₂ and H₂O

cane and unripe grapes.
Photodegradable plastics are synthetic
polymers designed to become weak
and brittle when exposed to light for
prolonged periods.
34
Separation by Chromatography
Chromatography is used to separate
components in a mixture.
A mobile phase sweeps over a stationary
phase.
Different components have different
AFFINITIES for the phases.
The stationary phase slows the components
down. They pass at different speeds thus
separating the compound.
ADSORPTION:
The solid holds gas
or liquid molecules
ON THE SURFACE of
a solid.
THIN LAYER CHROMATOGRAPHY
Stationary Phase: Solid
Mobile Phase: Liquid

Stationary Phase: Solid/Liquid (silica)

ADSORPTION.

Thin Layer Chromatography
Rᶠ =
distance moved by component
distance moved by solvent front
Limitations:
Similar compounds have similar
Rᶠ values.
Difficult to find solvent that
separates all of the compounds in
a mixture.
A chromatogram is a visible record showing
the results of separation of a mixture.
36
Gas Chromatography
Limitations:
Stationary Phase: Thin layer
solid/liquid coated on inside of
capillary tube.
Mobile Phase: Inert carrier gas
e.g. helium
Each component leaves the
column at different times and is
detected as it leaves the
column.
Retention time in gas
chromatography is the time for
a component to pass from the
column inlet to the detector.
The area under the peak is
proportional to the amount of
compound in a sample.
Similar retention times
Not all substances will
be detected
No reference for
unknown compounds.

NMR
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
Chemical Shift ᵟ is a scale that
compares the frequency of an NMR
adsorption with the frequency of the
reference peak of TMS at 0ppm.
TMS is added so that the
spectrometer can be calibrated
against the TMS reference peak.
Low Resolution NMR Spectroscopy
TMS is chemically UNREACTIVE and is
removed from the sample after
running the NMR.
Solvent: D₂O
Isotope of Hydrogen
Produces no signal in spectrum as it
has even number of nucleons.
Other solvents: CDCl₃ (C peak usually
removed from spectrum via
evaporation)

High Resolution NMR Spectroscopy
38
NMR in Medicine
An MRI scanner is like a large spectrometer in which the patient is the sample.
MRI scanners detect SOFT TISSUE DAMAGE and in the diagnosis of tumours
because they contain a high % of water.
MRI scans are NON-IVASIVE so do NOT HARM the body’s cells.
Disadvantages: Expensive, High training required
