Chapter 7 3

Delocalized Electrons and Resonance

Chapter 7 4

Bonding in Benzene

(a) Carbon–carbon and carbon–hydrogen bonds

(b) Carbon p-orbitals overlap with neighbors

(c) Cloud of electrons above and below ring

(d) Electrostatic potential map for benzene

Chapter 7 5

Delocalized Pi Systems Extend continuously through all connected atoms which lack 4 single

bonds (except H) Broken up by saturated atoms with 4 single bonds (C). Two double bonds on same carbon break up system (cumulated dienes) Broken by two saturated connected atoms with same Lewis acid/base

properties (ie. 2 O atoms or C+ connected to B)

One atom charge goes down, other goes up. Atom receiving e’s has charge go more

negative.

Resonance Structures

Chapter 7 12

Rules for Drawing Resonance Structures

Chapter 7 13

The Resonance Hybrid

When there is a choice, electrons tend to move toward the more electronegative atom

Chapter 7 14

Resonance Energy The resonance energy tells

us how much more stable the compound with delocalized electrons is due to that delocalization

The greater the number of relatively stable resonance contributors, the greater the resonance energy

Chapter 7 15

Resonance Energy

The more nearly equivalent the resonance structures, the greater the resonance energy

Chapter 7 16

Chapter 7 18

Crude Carbocation Stability Index

Add 1 for each attached carbon. Add 1 for adjacent double bond or phenyl ring. Subtract 1 if C+ on double bond. Alkene C doesn’t count but C attached to either alkene C does.

Chapter 7 19

Relative Stabilities of Carbocations

Vinyl cations are one level less stable than alkyl cations

Chapter 7 20

Effect of Delocalization on pKa

Carboxylic acids (RCOOH) are much more acidic than and alcohols (ROH)

pKa = 4.76 pKa = 15.9

Effect of Delocalization on pKa

Chapter 7 22

Effect of Delocalization on pKa

A protonated aniline is more acidic than a protonated cyclohexylamine

pKa = 4.6

pKa = 11.2

Chapter 7 23

Types of Dienes

When double bonds are separated by at least one sp3 carbon, isolated diene

Chapter 7 24

Types of Dienes

When double bonds are separated by only one single bond (i.e. four sp2 carbons in a row), conjugated diene

Chapter 7 25

Types of Dienes

When both sets of double bonds emanate from the same carbon, cumulated diene

Chapter 7 26

Relative Stabilities of Dienes

Chapter 7 27

Relative Stabilities of Dienes Doubly-bonded carbons in isolated and

conjugated dienes all are sp2 hybridized The central carbon in a cumulated diene

is sp hybridized

Chapter 7 28

Electrophilic Addition Reactions of Isolated Dienes

Reaction of 1,5-hexadiene with excess HBr adds HBr independently to each double bond

Markovnikov’s Rule is followed

Chapter 7 29

Electrophilic Addition Reactions of Conjugated Dienes

Conjugated dienes can give both 1,2- and 1,4- addition products

Chapter 7 30

Mechanism of Addition of HBr to Conjugated Dienes

The positive charge on the allylic cation is not localized on C-2, but is shared between C-2 and C-4

Chapter 7 31

Electrophilic Additions to Conjugated Dienes

Electrophile adds to one end of pi system Draw all resonance structures for C+ for adding electrophile to each

end of pi system Evaluate which set of structures is more stable (stability index) Number most stable C+ positions with even numbers, end of pi system

#1 Electrophile (H) adds to position #1 Add nucleophile to each C+ (even-numbered C atom) in most stable

set of resonance structures to get observed products
