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

- When the conjugate acid of aniline, C6H5NH3+, reacts with the acetate ion, the following reaction takes place: C6H5NH3+(aq)+CH3COO(aq)C6H5NH2(aq)+CH3COOH(aq) If Kafor C6H5NH3+ is 1.35105 and Kafor CH3COOH is 1.86105 , what is K for the reaction?arrow_forwardGlucose, C6H12O6, contains an aldehyde group but exist predominantly in the form of the cyclic hemiacetal show below. A cyclic hemiacetal is formed when the —OH group of one carbon bonds to the carbonyl group of another carbon. Identify which carbon provides the —OH group and which provides the —CHO? Give a functional isomer of glucose and draw its structure.arrow_forwardUsing condensed structural formulas, write a balancedchemical equation for each of the following reactions:(a) hydrogenation of cyclohexene, (b) addition of H2O totrans-2-pentene using H2SO4 as a catalyst (two products),(c) reaction of 2-chloropropane with benzene in the presenceof AlCl3.arrow_forward
- What happens when(i) Chlorobenzene is treated with Cl2/FeCl3,(ii) Ethyl chloride is treated with AgNO2,(iii) 2-bromopentane is treated with alcoholic KOH?Write the chemical equations in support of your answer.arrow_forwardOne mole of an unknown hydrocarbon, compound C, in the presence of a platinum catalyst, adds 98.9 L of hydrogen, measured at 744 mm Hg and 22 degrees C , to form a saturated alkane which contains one ring. When one mole of compound C is reacted with ozone, followed by reduction with (CH3)2S , four moles of only one product was formed, whose condensed molecular formula is CHO -CHO. Give the structure of compound C. Explain your reasoningarrow_forwardPropene undergoes a hydration reaction with water in the presence of an acid. a. There are two possible products for this reaction, both with the formula C3H8O. Show their structural formulas and names. b. Which of the two products do you predict will form. Explainarrow_forward
- An unknown compound A is known to be an alcohol with themolecular formula C4H10O. When dehydrated, compoundA gave only one alkene product, C4H8, compound B. Compound A could not be oxidized. What are the identitiesof compound A and compound B? Draw structures and explain.arrow_forwardWhich alcohols can be prepared as a single product by hydroboration–oxidation of an alkene? Which alcohols can be prepared as a singleproduct by the acid-catalyzed addition of H2O to an alkene?arrow_forwardWhich of the following structural features could be found in a compound with formula C7H12?arrow_forward
- What happens when (i) Chlorobenzene is treated with Cl2/FeCl3 (ii) ethyl chloride is treated with AgN02, (iii) 2-bromopentane is treated with alcoholic KOH? Write the chemical equations in support of your answer.arrow_forwardIf you used a bromine test to distinguish between hexane and 2-hexene, in which the red color of bromine persist?arrow_forwardDraw and name the five cycloalkane structures of formula C5H10. Can any of these structures give rise to geometric (cis-trans) isomerism? If so, show the cis and trans stereoisomersarrow_forward
