Chapter 21 Phenols and Aryl Halides Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution
Synthesis of Phenols 4A. Laboratory Synthesis:
4B. Industrial Syntheses • Hydrolysis of chlorobenzene (Dow Process).
Mechanism: • Chain initiation:
Reactions of Phenols as Acids Note the electron withdrawing power of NO2.
5B. Distinguishing and SeparatingPhenols from Alcohols andCarboxylic Acids Question • If you are given three unknown samples: one is benzoic acid; one is phenol; and one is cyclohexyl alcohol; how would you distinguish them by simple chemical tests ? • Recall acidity of:
Cleavage of Alkyl Aryl Ethers Always get phenol as a product of aryl ether cleavage.
Reactions of the Benzene Ring of Phenols • Bromination: (NO Lewis acid required for the bromination)
Nitration: Mild conditions for EAS are due to the fact that the OH of phenol is a strong ring activator.
The Claisen Rearrangement A sigmatropic rearrangement.
Via a [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement: Intermediate or
11A. Nucleophilic Aromatic SubstitutionMethod 1: Addition–EliminationThe SNAr Mechanism. • Nucleophilic aromatic substitution can occur when strong electron-withdrawing groups are ortho or para to the halogen atom.
The mechanism that operates in these reactions is an addition–elimination mechanism involving the formation of a carbanion with delocalized electrons, called a Meisenheimer intermediate. The process is called nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr or NAS).
Resonance stabilization of the NAS intermediate.
11B. Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution Method 2: Elimination–Addition The Benzyne Mechanism.
The benzyne elimination–addition mechanism: Note reversal of steps.
Tracking NH2 by labeling the carbon bonded to Cl. • NH2 can atack either C of the benzyne.
Only one product, see next slide.
Benzyne intermediates have been “trapped” through the use of Diels–Alder reactions
