Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution: Bromination of Aromatic Compounds Introduction: The experiment focuses on finding out what kind of activating effects that four different substituents will have on an aromatic benzene ring. The substituents being tested are aniline‚ anisole‚ acetamide (acetanilide)‚ and phenol. All four of these groups are either para or ortho activating. Bromination is the reaction that will be carried out. The melting point ranges of the final products will be taken in order

This experiment focuses on the concept of electrophilic aromatic substitution‚ which is a type of benzene reaction. This reaction consists usually of benzene and an electrophile. The role of the nucleophile is played by the double bond on the benzene ring. IT will react will the electrophile and this reaction will form a carbon cation intermediate. With additional reactions with a base‚ the electrophile fundamentally replaces the hydrogen of the benzene. Benzene is classified as one of the countless

Engineering Chemistry III Prof. K. M. Muraleedharan Aromatic electrophilic substitution (Ar-SE) Reactions The special reactivity of aromatic systems towards electrophiles arises mainly from two factors: the presence of π electron density above and below the plane of the ring - making it nucleophilic‚ and the drive to regain the aromatic character by opting for substitution as opposed to a simple addition reaction. Preference towards addition reactions in the case of alkenes and substitution

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution Objective The objective of this experiment was to illustrate electrophilic aromatic substitution by synthesizing p-nitroanilide (as well as ortho) from acetanilide by nitration. The para form was separated from the ortho form based on solubility properties using recrystallization techniques. Synthetic equations: Physical Properties & Hazards of Reagents/Products: (all taken from Sigma-Aldrich website) Acetanilide MM = 135.16 g/mol Melting point =

ABSTRACT: The electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction is the attack of a benzene ring on an electrophilic species resulting in the substitution of a proton with a functional group. The electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction nitration is used to nitrate methyl benzoate and acetanilide with a nitronium ion. Crystallization was used to purify the product. The melting point was used to determine its purity and the regiochemistry of the products. The methyl benzoate reaction product‚ methyl

The Iodination of Salicylamide Questions: 1. a) The possible sites of iodination of the salicylamide ring is on the ortho/para position to the -OH group. b) The most likely site of iodination is the para position. This spot has the least steric hindrance and is favorable due to the directing effects of the -OH and the withdrawing effects from the carbonyl. 2. The homo surface shows that salicylamide has large electron density at the para and ortho positions. These sites are more likely

Estimation of the Activation Energy for the Iodination of Acetone Through the Effect of Temperature on the Rate Constant Joel Costa‚ Alex Fuentes‚ Michael Chea‚ Rex Nwerem Dr. Morgan Ferguson July 9‚ 2013 ABSTRACT | It is often important to determine the rate at which a chemical reaction takes place‚ i.e.‚ how fast it yields the desired products. Temperature is one of the factors that influence the rate of reactions and it does so by providing energy to reactant particles so that a larger
