1 Chapter 12 Electrophilic and Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution

2 CHAPTER 12 Electrophilic and Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution Aromatic compounds may undergo substitution reactions. Electrophilic aromatic substitutions (S E Ar, or sometimes EAS) are the central focus and these reactions are treated in the first 18 sections. Nucleophilic aromatic substitutions (S N Ar, or sometimes NAS) are treated in the last 3 sections. S E Ar reactions involve the substitution of a hydrogen atom on an aromatic ring. The reactions are initiated by a very reactive electronphile. The S E Ar mechanism is discussed in detail and can be used to explain regiochemistry of the reaction on substituted aromatic systems. S N Ar reactions differ from S E Ar in that these reactions involve the substitution of a leaving group. The S N Ar mechanism shares many similarities with S E Ar and, a familiarity with the S E Ar will help understanding the the S N Ar mechanism. These mechanisms involves a heavy does of resonance, so please review this topic from chapter 1. Chapter 12 Problems: 33, 34, 39, 40, 46, 49, 50, 53, 57, 59 Chapter 12-2

3 PREVIEW OF ELECTROPHILIC AND NUCLEOPHILIC AROMATIC SUBSTITUTIONS S E Ar is mechanistically related to previously presented electrophilic addition (chapter 6). Likewise, S N Ar is related to nucleophilic (aliphatic) substitution (chapters 4 and 8). Chapter 12-3

4 FIVE S E Ar REACTIONS 1. Nitration 2. Sulfonation 3. Halogenation 4. Friedel-Crafts Alkylation 5. Friedel-Crafts Acylation Chapter 12-4

5 GENERAL MECHANISM FOR S E Ar Two-step mechanism that begins with an electrophile removing electrons from an aromatic π bond, followed by a base removing a hydrogen to reform the alkene (aromaticity). Chapter 12-5

6 NITRATION OF BENZENE Overall reaction replaces a aromatic hydrogen with a nitro group (-NO 2 ) Requires the formation of the nitronium ion (NO 2+ ), a very good electrophile. Chapter 12-6

7 SULFONATION OF BENZENE Overall reaction replaces a aromatic hydrogen with a sulfonic acid group (-SO 3 H). Sulfur trioxide is suspected to be the reacting electrophile (SO 3 ). Chapter 12-7

8 HALOGENATION OF BENZENE Overall reaction replaces a aromatic hydrogen with a halide (-X), X = Br, Cl, I. Dihalogens are not electrophilic enough to react on their own, so an reactive species with an electron deficient halogen must be created. Chapter 12-8

9 FRIEDEL-CRAFTS ALKYLATION OF BENZENE Overall reaction replaces a aromatic hydrogen an alkyl group (-R). The reactive electrophile is a carbocation generated from an alkyl halide and a strong Lewis acid. Chapter 12-9

10 FRIEDEL-CRAFTS ALKYLATION OF BENZENE (cont.) Because the reactive electrophile is a carbocation, reactions will only work with 3 and 2 cations. Possible carbocation rearrangements may occur. Chapter 12-10

11 FRIEDEL-CRAFTS ACYLATION OF BENZENE Overall reaction replaces a aromatic hydrogen an acyl group (-COR). The reactive electrophile is an acylium ion which is generated with an acid halide and a strong Lewis acid. Chapter 12-11

12 REDUCTION OF ARYL KETONES TO METHYLENES Reduction of an aromatic acyl group leads to a (-CH 2 -); equivalent to an alkylation with a 1 carbocation. Chapter 12-12

13 REDUCTION OF ARYL KETONES TO METHYLENES Clemmensen reduction under acidic conditions. Wolff-Kishner reduction under basic condition. Chapter 12-13

14 REACTION RATES OF S E Ar Activating groups will increase S E Ar rates. Deactivating groups will decrease S E Ar rates. Chapter 12-14

15 REGIOSELECTIVITY IN S E Ar: EXAMPLE TOLUENE A methyl group directs the reaction to the ortho and para positions. ortho nitration meta nitration para nitration Chapter 12-15

16 REGIOSELECTIVITY IN S E Ar: EXAMPLE (TRIFLUOROMETYL)BENZENE A trifluoro-methyl group directs the reaction to the meta positions. ortho nitration meta nitration para nitration Chapter 12-16

17 REGIOSELECTIVITY IN S E Ar: EXAMPLE (TRIFLUOROMETYL)BENZENE Hammond s postulate is invoked to explain regiochemistry. Chapter 12-17

18 CLASSIFICATION OF SUBSTITUENTS Chapter 12-18

19 SUBSTITUENT EFFECT: ACTIVATING GROUPS Activating groups (aka electron donating groups or EDG) increase the overall reaction rate and direct ortho/para. Chapter 12-19

20 SUBSTITUENT EFFECT: DEACTIVATING GROUPS Deactivating groups (aka electron withdrawing groups or EWG) decrease the overall reaction rate and direct meta. Chapter 12-20

21 SUBSTITUENT EFFECT: HALOGENS Halogens are exceptions. They are decrease the reaction rate, but direct otho/para. Chapter 12-21

22 MULTIPLE SUBSTITUENTS Case 1: groups can reinforce each other. Chapter 12-22

23 MULTIPLE SUBSTITUENTS Case 2: sterics may also direct substitution. Also, groups work against each other; stronger activator wins. Chapter 12-23

24 RETROSYNTHETIC ANALYSIS For multiple substituted benzenes, be sure to order the reactions correctly. Chapter 12-24

25 RETROSYNTHETIC ANALYSIS Don t forget about Friedel-Crafts acylation combined with reductions. Chapter 12-25

26 S E Ar ON OTHER ARENES Regiochemistry determined by electrophilic addition generates the more stable σ- complexes. For naphthalene, resonance forms with aromaticity will increase stability over resonance forms without aromaticity. Chapter 12-26

27 S E Ar ON HETEROCYCLIC AROMATIC COMPOUNDS Regiochemistry determined by electrophilic addition generates the more stable σ- complexes. Chapter 12-27

28 NUCLEOPHILIC AROMATIC SUBSTITUTION: S N Ar Aryl halides can undergo nucleophilic substitution. Nitro groups ( NO 2 ) at the ortho or para positions to the halide ACTIVATE the reaction (unlike S E Ar reactions). Chapter 12-28

29 S N Ar MECHANISM: ADDITION-ELIMINATION Nucleophilic addition to the aryl ring produces a cyclohexadienyl anion. Nitro groups next to a carbanion have an additional resonance form. Dissociation of the leaving group regenerates aromaticity in the ring. Chapter 12-29

30 OTHER EXAMPLES OF S N Ar Hexafluorobenzene is susceptible to S N Ar. Heterocyclic compound with specifically placed electronegative atoms can also help stabilize anionic intermediates. Chapter 12-30

31 S N Ar MECHANISM: BENZYNE INTERMEDIATES* Halobenzene under stongly basic conditions can eliminate to produce a cyclic alkyne, called a benzyne. Nucleophilic attack of benzyne, followed by protonation of the carbanion completes the substitution product. * In Descriptive Passage section at the end of chapter 12 on pp Chapter 12-31
