When anthracene is added to the reaction of chlorobenzene with concentrated NaOH at 350 掳C, an interesting Diels鈥揂lder adduct of the formula C20H14results. The proton NMR spectrum of the product shows a singlet of area 2 around d 3 and a broad singlet of area 12 around d 7. Propose a structure for the product, and explain why one of the aromatic rings of anthracene reacted as a diene.
Which reactions will produce the desired product in good yield? You may assume that aluminum chloride is added as a catalyst in each case. For the reactions that will not give a good yield of the desired product, predict the major products.
Reagents Desired Product
(a) benzene + n-butyl bromide n-butylbenzene
(b) ethylbenzene + tert-butyl chloride p-ethyl-tert-butylbenzene
(c) bromobenzene + ethyl chloride p-bromoethylbenzene
(d) benzamide (PhCONH3) + CH3 CH2 CI p-ethylbenzamide
(e) toluene + HNO3, H2SO4 , heat 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT)
The highly reactive triple bond of benzyne is a powerful dienophile. Predict the product of the Diels鈥揂lder reaction of benzyne (from chlorobenzene and NaOH, heated) with cyclopentadiene.
1,4-Benzoquinone is a good Diels鈥揂lder dienophile. Predict the products of its reaction with
(a) buta-1,3-diene
(b) cyclopenta-1,3-diene
Unlike most other electrophilic aromatic substitutions, sulfonation is often reversible. When one sample of toluene is sulfonated at 0 掳C and another sample is sulfonated at 100 掳C, the following ratios of substitution products result:
(a) Explain the change in the product ratios when the temperature is increased.
(b) Predict what will happen when the product mixture from the reaction at 0 掳C is heated to 100 掳C.
(c) Because the SO3Hgroup can be added to a benzene ring and removed later, it is sometimes called a blocking group. Show how 2,6-dibromotoluene can be made from toluene using sulfonation and desulfonation as intermediate steps in the synthesis
