Concept introduction:
All organic reactions in which an atom linked to an aromatic system is displaced by an electrophile, are known as electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions.
The compounds that have the tendency to attract electron rich centers are known as electrophiles. They are either positively charged species or neutral species. Lewis acids are electrophiles.
Electrophilic addition involves reaction between an electrophile and a nucleophile in which two new sigma bonds are formed bybreaking of a

Until recently, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE, below) was used as an octane booster and fuel additive for gasoline. It increases the oxygen content of the fuel, which reduces CO emissions. MTBE is synthesized by the catalyzed reaction of 2-methylpropene with methanol.(a) Write a balanced equation for the synthesis of MTBE. (Hint: Alcohols add to alkenes similarly to the way water does.)arrow_forward

Explain thedifference in the resonance energies of naphthalene and biphenyl.arrow_forward(a) Alkenes are relatively stable compounds but are more reactive than alkanes and serve as a feedstock for the petrochemical industry because they can participate in a wide variety of reactions. Predict the products obtained from following reaction. Write the chemical reaction and name the products according to IUPAC system.

Hydrogenation of compound A produces 2-methylhexane. Hydroboration-oxidation of compound A produces an aldehyde. Draw the structure of compound A.arrow_forwardEthers (general formula R—O—R)have many important uses. Until recently,methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE, right)was used as an octane booster and fueladditive for gasoline. It increases the oxy-gen content of the fuel, which reducesCO emissions.
