16 STRUCTURE AND STABILITY OF BENZENE 16

17 Aromatic Compounds: Stability of Benzene The reactivity of benzene is much lesser than that of alkenes despite having six fewer hydrogens Benzene - C 6 H 6 Cycloalkane - C 6 H Cengage Learning. 17

18 Aromatic Compounds: Stability of Benzene Comparison of the heats of hydrogenation proves the stability of benzene Remember Heat of Hydrogenation is the heat produced when alkene is reduced to an alkane Alkene with lower (less negative) value is more stable Reduction is exothermic (converting weaker pi bond to stronger sigma bond) Depends on degree of substitution of double bond (greater substitution, lower heat of hydrogenation) Trans alkene is lower than cis alkene 2016 Cengage Learning. 18

19 Aromatic Compounds: Stability of Benzene Comparison of the heats of hydrogenation proves the stability of benzene 2016 Cengage Learning. 19

20 Aromatic Compounds: Structure of Benzene All its C-C bonds are the same length: 139 pm between single (154 pm) and double (134 pm) bonds Electron density in all six C-C bonds is identical Structure is planar, hexagonal 1.39 Å 2016 Cengage Learning. 20

21 Aromatic Compounds: Structure of Benzene Carbon atoms and p orbitals in benzene are equivalent Impossible to define three localized bonds in which a given p orbital overlaps only one neighboring p orbital All electrons move freely in the entire ring due to equal overlap of all p orbitals 1.39 Å 2016 Cengage Learning. 21

22 Aromatic Compounds: Structure of Benzene Structure is in resonance Resonance influences its rate of reactivity 1.39 Å 2016 Cengage Learning. 22

23 Aromatic Compounds: Structure of Benzene Benzene resonance forms can be represented by a single structure with a circle in the center to indicate the equivalence of the carbon carbon bonds The ring does not indicate the number of electrons in the ring but is a reminder of the delocalized structure 2016 Cengage Learning. 23

24 Aromatic Compounds: Structure of Benzene Molecular orbital description of benzene The 6 p-orbitals combine to give: Three bonding orbitals with 6 electrons Three antibonding with no electrons Orbitals with the same energy are degenerate 2016 Cengage Learning. 24

25 Aromatic Compounds Observations about benzene and benzene like aromatic compounds Unusually stable - Heat of hydrogenation 150 kj/mol less negative than a hypothetical cyclic triene Planar hexagon - Bond angles are 120, carboncarbon bond length is 139 pm Undergoes substitution rather than electrophilic addition Resonance hybrid with structure between two line-bond structures 25

26 AROMATICITY AND THE HÜCKEL 4N+2 RULE 26

27 Aromatic Compounds: Hückel Rule States that a molecule can be aromatic only if: It has a planar, monocyclic system of conjugation It contains a total of 4n + 2 electrons n = 0,1,2,3 Antiaromatic if 4n electrons are considered 27

28 Aromatic Compounds: Hückel Rule Does molecule contain (4n+2) or 4n pi electrons Cyclobutadiene Four pi electrons Antiaromatic It reacts readily and exhibits none of the properties corresponding to aromaticity It dimerizes by a Diels-Alder reaction at 78 C 2016 Cengage Learning. 28

29 Aromatic Compounds: Hückel Rule Does molecule contain (4n+2) or 4n pi electrons Benzene possesses six electrons (4n + 2 = 6 when n = 1) Aromatic 2016 Cengage Learning. 29

30 Aromatic Compounds: Hückel Rule Does molecule contain (4n+2) or 4n pi electrons Cyclooctatetraene possesses eight electrons Not aromatic Comprises four double bonds 2016 Cengage Learning. 30

31 Aromatic Compounds: Stability and Molecular Orbital Theory Molecular orbitals for cyclic conjugated molecules Always contain a single lowest-lying MO Above lowest MO, MOs come in degenerate pairs Energy Levels of the Six Benzene Molecular Orbitals 2016 Cengage Learning. 31

32 Worked Example To be aromatic, a molecule must have 4n + 2 electrons and must have a planar, monocyclic system of conjugation Explain why cyclodecapentaene has resisted all attempts at synthesis though it has fulfilled only one of the above criteria 32

33 Worked Example Solution: Cyclodecapentaene possesses 4n + 2 (n = 2) but is not flat If cyclodecapentaene were flat, the starred hydrogen atoms would crowd each other across the ring To avoid this interaction, the ring system is distorted from planarity 2016 Cengage Learning. 33

34 Aromatic Ions The 4n + 2 rule applies to ions as well as neutral substances Both the cyclopentadienyl anion and the cycloheptatrienyl cation are aromatic 2016 Cengage Learning. 34

35 Aromatic Ions How are ions aromatic? Starting with a neutral saturated hydrocarbon Remove one hydrogen from the saturated CH 2 Rehybridize the carbon from sp 3 to sp 2 Result is a fully conjugated product with a p orbital on every product 2016 Cengage Learning. 35

36 Aromatic Ions Methods to remove hydrogen from saturated CH 2 Removing the hydrogen with both electrons (H: ) from the C H bond results in a carbocation Removing the hydrogen with one electron (H ) from the C H bond results in a carbon radical Removing the hydrogen without any electrons (H + ) from the C H bond results in a carbanion 2016 Cengage Learning. 36

37 Aromatic Ions: Cyclopentadienyl Anion Disadvantages of the four- -electron cyclopentadienyl cation and the five- cyclopentadienyl radical Highly reactive Difficult to prepare Not stable enough for aromatic systems Advantages of using the six- -electron cyclopentadienyl cation Easily prepared Extremely stable pk a = Cengage Learning. Acidicty of a hydrogen atom 37

38 Worked Example Cyclooctatetraene readily reacts with potassium metal to form the stable cyclooctatetraene dianion, C 8 H 8 2 Explain why this reaction occurs so easily Determine the geometry for the cyclooctatetraene dianion 2016 Cengage Learning. 38

39 Worked Example Solution: When cyclooctatetrene accepts two electrons, it becomes a (4n + 2) electron aromatic ion Cyclooctatetraenyl dianion is planar with a carbon carbon bond angle of 135, that of a regular octagon 2016 Cengage Learning. 39

43 Aromatic Heterocycles: Pyridine The nitrogen lone pair electrons are not part of the aromatic system (perpendicular orbital) The structure of pyridine is quite similar to that of benzene All five sp 2 -hybridized ions possess a p orbital perpendicular with one to the plane of the ring Each p orbital comprises one electron The nitrogen atom is also sp 2 -hybridized and possesses one electron in a p orbital 2016 Cengage Learning. 43

44 Aromatic Heterocycles: Pyrimidine Pyrimidine comprises two nitrogen atoms in a six-membered, unsaturated ring The sp 2 -hybridized nitrogen atoms share an electron each to the aromatic system 2016 Cengage Learning. 44

45 Aromatic Heterocycles: Pyrrole and Imidazole 2016 Cengage Learning. 45

52 Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds: Naphthalene Orbitals Comparison of the heats of hydrogenation Naphthalene is approximately 250 kj/mol 2016 Cengage Learning. 52

53 Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds: Naphthalene Naphthalene possesses a cyclic, conjugated electron system p orbital overlap is present along the ten-carbon periphery of the molecule and across the central bond Aromaticity is due to the electron delocalization caused by the presence of ten electrons (Hückel number) 2016 Cengage Learning. 53

54 Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds: Analogs of Naphthelene Quinolone, isoquinolone, and purine have pyridine-like nitrogens that share one electron Indole and purine have pyrrole-like nitrogens that share two electrons 2016 Cengage Learning. 54
