The core of arenes has a mobileπ - a system that is affected by electrophilic reagents. Arenes are characterized by electrophilic substitution, which can be represented as follows:

The electrophilic particle is attracted toπ - ring system, then a strong bond is formed between the reagentXand one of the carbon atoms, while the unity of the ring is broken. To restore aromaticity, a proton is ejected, and 2 electronsS-Ngo over to the π-system of the ring.

1. Halogenation occurs in the presence of catalysts - anhydrous and bromides, :

2. Nitration of arenes. Benzene reacts very slowly with concentrated with strong heating. But if you add , then the reaction proceeds very easily:

3. Sulfonation proceeds under the influence of 100% - sulfuric acid - oleum:

4. Alkylation . As a result, the chain is elongated, the reaction proceeds in the presence of a catalyst - aluminum chloride:

3. air. The reaction proceeds at vanadium(V) oxide and 400°C:

Benzene homologues have a number of differences - for their products I am the initial substituent in the ring:

If strong oxidizing agents ( ), then the alkyl chain is destroyed and benzoic acid is formed:

Cycloalkanes (cycloparaffins, naphthenes) are cyclic saturated hydrocarbons, according to chemical structure close to alkanes. Contain only simple single sigma bonds (σ-bonds), do not contain aromatic bonds.

Cycloalkanes have a higher density and higher melting and boiling points than the corresponding alkanes. General formula their homologous series - C n H 2n.

Nomenclature and isomerism of cycloalkanes

The names of cycloalkanes are formed by adding the prefix "cyclo-" to the name of the alkane with the corresponding number: cyclopropane, cyclobutane, etc.

As with alkanes, the carbon atoms of cycloalkanes are in sp 3 hybridization.

In addition to the isomerism of the carbon skeleton, cycloalkanes are characterized by interclass isomerism with alkenes and spatial geometric isomerism in the form of the existence of cis- and trans-isomers.


Obtaining cycloalkanes

In industry, cycloalkanes are obtained in several ways:


Under laboratory conditions, cycloalkanes can be obtained by the dehalogenation reaction of dihaloalkanes.


Chemical properties of cycloalkanes

It is important to note that cyclopropane and cyclobutane enter into addition reactions, showing the properties of unsaturated compounds. For cyclopentane and cyclohexane, addition reactions are not characteristic, they mainly enter into substitution reactions.

Physical properties

Benzene and its closest homologues are colorless liquids with a specific odor. Aromatic hydrocarbons are lighter than water and do not dissolve in it, but they easily dissolve in organic solvents - alcohol, ether, acetone.

Benzene and its homologues are themselves good solvents for many organic matter. All arenas burn with a smoky flame due to the high carbon content of their molecules.

The physical properties of some arenes are presented in the table.

Attention! Benzene - poison, acts on the kidneys, changes the blood formula (with prolonged exposure), can disrupt the structure of chromosomes.

Most aromatic hydrocarbons are life threatening and toxic.

Obtaining arenes (benzene and its homologues)

In the laboratory

1. Fusion of salts of benzoic acid with solid alkalis

sodium benzoate

2. Wurtz-Fitting reaction: (here G is halogen)

From 6H 5 -G+2Na + R-G →C 6 H 5 - R + 2 NaG

With 6 H 5 -Cl + 2Na + CH 3 -Cl → C 6 H 5 -CH 3 + 2NaCl

In industry

  • isolated from oil and coal by fractional distillation, reforming;
  • from coal tar and coke oven gas

1. Dehydrocyclization of alkanes with more than 6 carbon atoms:

Chemical properties of arenes

I. OXIDATION REACTIONS

1. Combustion (smoky flame):

2C 6 H 6 + 15O 2 t→12CO 2 + 6H 2 O + Q

2. Benzene under normal conditions does not decolorize bromine water and an aqueous solution of potassium permanganate

3. Benzene homologues are oxidized by potassium permanganate (discolor potassium permanganate):

A) in an acidic environment to benzoic acid

Under the action of potassium permanganate and other strong oxidants on the homologues of benzene, the side chains are oxidized. No matter how complex the chain of the substituent is, it is destroyed, with the exception of the a -carbon atom, which is oxidized into a carboxyl group.

Homologues of benzene with one side chain give benzoic acid:


Homologues containing two side chains give dibasic acids:

5C 6 H 5 -C 2 H 5 + 12KMnO 4 + 18H 2 SO 4 → 5C 6 H 5 COOH + 5CO 2 + 6K 2 SO 4 + 12MnSO 4 + 28H 2 O

5C 6 H 5 -CH 3 + 6KMnO 4 + 9H 2 SO 4 → 5C 6 H 5 COOH + 3K 2 SO 4 + 6MnSO 4 + 14H 2 O

Simplified :

C 6 H 5 -CH 3 + 3O KMnO4→C 6 H 5 COOH + H 2 O

B) in neutral and slightly alkaline to salts of benzoic acid

C 6 H 5 -CH 3 + 2KMnO 4 → C 6 H 5 COO K + K OH + 2MnO 2 + H 2 O

II. ADDITION REACTIONS (harder than alkenes)

1. Halogenation

C 6 H 6 + 3Cl 2 h ν → C 6 H 6 Cl 6 (hexachlorocyclohexane - hexachloran)

2. Hydrogenation

C 6 H 6 + 3H 2 t , PtorNi→C 6 H 12 (cyclohexane)

3. Polymerization

III. SUBSTITUTION REACTIONS – ionic mechanism (lighter than alkanes)

b) benzene homologues upon irradiation or heating

In terms of chemical properties, alkyl radicals are similar to alkanes. Hydrogen atoms in them are replaced by halogens by a free radical mechanism. Therefore, in the absence of a catalyst, heating or UV irradiation leads to a radical substitution reaction in the side chain. The influence of the benzene ring on alkyl substituents leads to the fact that the hydrogen atom is always replaced at the carbon atom directly bonded to the benzene ring (a-carbon atom).

1) C 6 H 5 -CH 3 + Cl 2 h ν → C 6 H 5 -CH 2 -Cl + HCl

c) benzene homologues in the presence of a catalyst

C 6 H 5 -CH 3 + Cl 2 AlCl 3 → (mixture of orta, pair of derivatives) +HCl

2. Nitration (with nitric acid)

C 6 H 6 + HO-NO 2 t, H2SO4→C 6 H 5 -NO 2 + H 2 O

nitrobenzene - smell almond!

C 6 H 5 -CH 3 + 3HO-NO 2 t, H2SO4 With H 3 -C 6 H 2 (NO 2) 3 + 3H 2 O

2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (tol, trotyl)

The use of benzene and its homologues

Benzene C 6 H 6 is a good solvent. Benzene as an additive improves the quality of motor fuel. It serves as a raw material for the production of many aromatic organic compounds - nitrobenzene C 6 H 5 NO 2 (solvent, aniline is obtained from it), chlorobenzene C 6 H 5 Cl, phenol C 6 H 5 OH, styrene, etc.

Toluene C 6 H 5 -CH 3 - a solvent used in the manufacture of dyes, drugs and explosives (trotyl (tol), or 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene TNT).

Xylene C 6 H 4 (CH 3) 2 . Technical xylene is a mixture of three isomers ( ortho-, meta- and pair-xylenes) - is used as a solvent and starting product for the synthesis of many organic compounds.

Isopropylbenzene C 6 H 5 -CH (CH 3) 2 serves to obtain phenol and acetone.

Chlorine derivatives of benzene used for plant protection. Thus, the product of substitution of H atoms in benzene with chlorine atoms is hexachlorobenzene C 6 Cl 6 - a fungicide; it is used for dry seed dressing of wheat and rye against hard smut. The product of the addition of chlorine to benzene is hexachlorocyclohexane (hexachloran) C 6 H 6 Cl 6 - an insecticide; it is used to control harmful insects. These substances refer to pesticides - chemical means of combating microorganisms, plants and animals.

Styrene C 6 H 5 - CH \u003d CH 2 polymerizes very easily, forming polystyrene, and copolymerizing with butadiene - styrene-butadiene rubbers.
