Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 13.18P

13-18 Answer true or false.

  1. Benzene does not undergo the addition reactions that are characteristic of alkenes.

  • A defining feature of aromatic compounds is that they are highly unsaturated but do not undergo characteristic alkene addition reactions.
  • Nitration of benzene adds a —NO2 group to one of the carbons of the aromatic ring.
  • Halogenation of an alkene is an addition reaction; halogenation of an arene is a substitution reaction.
  • Blurred answer

  • Following is the structural formula of hexabromocyclododecane. This compound was at one time used as a flame retardant in polystyrene foam insulation in buildings, but has now been banned because it had been shown to be toxic to aquatic organisms, and can disrupt thyroid hormone levels in laboratory test animals. In addition, it persists in the environment. Show how this flame retardant could be synthesized from a cycloalkatriene and write the structural formula and IUPAC name of this starting material.

    13-52 2,6-Di-/ezY-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT, Section 13-4C) is an antioxidant added to processed foods to “retard spoilage.” How does BHT accomplish this goal?
    13-25 Answer true or false. (a) Phenols and alcohols have in common the presence of an —OH group. Phenols are weak acids and react with strong bases to give water-soluble salts. The pK„ of phenol is smaller than that of acetic acid. Autoxidation converts an R—H group to an R—OH group. A carbon radical has only seven electrons in the valence shell of one of its carbons, and this carbon bears a positive charge. (f, A characteristic of a chain initiation step is conversion of a nonradical to a radical. Autoxidation is a radical-chain reaction. A characteristic of the chain propagation step is reaction of a radical and a molecule to form a new radical and a new molecule. Vitamin E and other natural antioxidants function by interrupting the cycle of chain propagation steps that occurs in autoxidation.
