Answer all the questions. 1 Methylbenzene, C 6H 5CH 3, is an aromatic hydrocarbon and is used widely as a solvent. It is readily nitrated and it can form mono-, di-, or tri-nitromethylbenzenes. (a) 4-Nitromethylbenzene can be formed by the nitration of methylbenzene. Outline the mechanism for the formation of 4-nitromethylbenzene from ...
26 lip 2022 · Unlike aliphatic (straight chain carbons) or other cyclic organic compounds, the structure of benzene (3 conjugated π bonds) allows benzene and its derived products to be useful in fields such as health, laboratory synthesis, and other applications such as rubber synthesis.
This page looks at the structures and physical properties of the simplest arenes (benzene and methylbenzene), together with a very brief introduction to their reactivity. Much of this is covered in detail elsewhere on the site - in sections on bonding and mechanisms, for example.
Benzene might be expected to behave like alkenes; i.e. react readily with bromine and hydrogen to undergo addition reactions, but this is not the case. The delocalization of the electrons in benzene makes the molecule more stable than expected for a molecule with three double bonds.
9 kwi 2023 · Structure of Benzene. The structure of benzene was determined many years ago, by a chemist called Kekule. The structure consists of 6 carbon atoms in a hexagonal ring, with alternating single and double carbon-carbon bonds. This suggests that benzene should react in the same way that an unsaturated alkene does. However, this is not the case.
(True/False) A single aromatic compound can have multiple names indicating its structure. Answer. True. TNT, for example, has the common name 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene and its systematic name is 2-methyl-1,3,5-trinitrobenzene.
In Step 1, methylbenzene undergoes an electrophilic substitution reaction. Identify the reagents needed for this reaction. Write an equation to show the formation of the electrophile.
