In each of the following reactions, the aromatic ring has just one chemically distinct, aromatic H, so a single electrophilic aromatic substitution will lead to just a single product. With this in mind, predict the product of each of these reactions. (a) (b) OzN. NO2 conc HNΟ, ? H,SO4, A conc HNO3 O,N `NO2

The nitro groups on the benzene ring in the reactant serve two purposes.One is to let you know what atoms in the reactant correspond to what atomsin the product. But what role do the nitro groups play electronically – whywould the reaction be much slower if these nitro groups weren’t attached tothose benzene carbons? Draw any relevant structures to support youranswer.
Would you expect the substituent N+(CH3)3 to more closely resemble N..(CH3)2 or-NO2 in its effect on rate and regioselectivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution? Why?
Reaction of this bicycloalkene with bromine in carbon tetrachloride gives a trans dibromide. In both (a) and (b), the bromine atoms are trans to each other. However, only one of these products is formed. Which trans dibromide is formed? How do you account for the fact that it is formed to the exclusion of the other trans dibromide?
It is typically very difficult to do a substitution reaction on an aromatic ring when the leaving group is flanked by two other bulky substituents. Moreover, in Section 22.3, we found that nucleophilic aromatic substitution requires strongly electron-withdrawing groups on the benzene ring. However, Pd-catalyzed coupling allows entry into such products. As examples, write the products of the following reactions and state which coupling reaction is being utilized.

Organometallic compounds act as nucleophiles under very specific conditions, and can generate alcohols, alkanes, among others. Describe in detail what these reaction conditions are so that organometallics can perform the addition reaction to carbonyl.

The compound whose structure is shown here is acetyl acetone. It exists in two forms:the enol form and the keto form The molecule reacts with OH–to form an anion, [CH3COCHCOCH3] (often abbreviatedacac–for acetylacetonate ion). One or the most interesting aspects of this anion is thatone or more of them can react with transition metal cations to give stable, highlycolored compounds (a) Are the keto and enol forms of acetylacetone resonance forms? Explain youranswer.(b) What is the hybridization or each atom (except H) in the enol form? What changesin hybridization occur when it is transformed into the keto form?(c) What are the electron-pair geometry and molecular geometry around each C atomin the keto and enol forms?

Strong support for the mechanism of the nucleophilic aromatic substitutionreaction that proceeds through a benzyne intermediate comes from the reaction shown here, in which bromobenzene is treated with KNH2 in the presence of cyclopentadiene. A product that is isolated has the formula C11H10. Draw the structure of that product and explain how it validates the production of a benzyne intermediate.
A common illicit synthesis of methamphetamine involves an interesting variation of the Birch reduction. A solution of ephedrine in alcohol is added to liquid ammonia, followed by several pieces of lithium metal. The Birch reduction usually reduces the aromatic ring, but in this case it eliminates the hydroxy group of ephedrine to give methamphetamine. Propose a mechanism, similar to that for the Birch reduction, to explain this unusual course of the reaction.
Although two products (A and B) are possible when naphthalene undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution, only A is formed. Draw resonance structures for the intermediate carbocation to explain why this is observed.
For each of the following, write the major product(s) and then draw out each step in the mechanism using curved arrows. Show ALL lone pair electrons and formal charges. Redraw ALL molecules as to show explicitly ALL bonds being broken or formed. Identify the molecular orbital (HOMO) of the nucleophile and the molecular orbital (LUMO) of electrophile involved in the nucleophilic attack. MO diagrams are not necessary..
