Describe two ways to prepare anisole from benzene.

Short Answer

Expert verified

1)

2)

Step by step solution

01

Preparation of anisole using halogenation reaction

Halogenation reaction

Benzene can be converted to chlorobenzene using halogenation reaction. Chlorobenzene dissolved in NaOH solution gives sodium phenoxide as product. This product on treated with methyl iodide gives anisole. This last reaction is known is known as Williamson synthesis.

02

Preparation of anisole using nitrating mixture

Preparation of anisole using nitrating mixture

Another way to synthesize anisole is treating benzene with nitrating mixture. Resultant nitrobenzene will convert to phenol and from there to anisole respectively.

Question: Propose a mechanism for each of the following reactions:

a.)

b.)

Explain why a secondary amine forms a nitrosamine rather than a diazonium ion when it reacts with a nitrosonium ion.

a. Explain why the following reaction leads to the products shown:

b. What product is obtained from the following reaction?

a. Rank the following compounds from greatest tendency to least tendency to undergo nucleophilic aromatic substitution:

chlorobenzene 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene p-chloronitrobenzene

b. Rank the same compounds from greatest tendency to least tendency to undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution.

In the mechanism for electrophilic aromatic substitution with a diazonium ion as the electrophile, why does nucleophilic attack occur on the terminal nitrogen of the diazonium ion rather than on the nitrogen that hasthe formal positive charge?
