v When the carbocation formed from an alkyl halide, alkene, or alcohol can rearrange to one or more carbocations that are more stable, it usually does so, and the major products obtained from the reaction are usually those from the more stable carbocations.

1o cation (not stable)v Reason

Cl AlCl3H

AlCl4+ +

1,2-hydride shift

H 3o cation(more stable)


v Friedel–Crafts reactions usually give poor yields when powerful electron-withdrawing groups are present on the aromatic ring or when the ring bears an –NH2, –NHR, or –NR2 group. This applies to both alkylations and acylations.

NO2 N(CH3)3 CF3 SO3H NH2O OH O R

These usually give poor yields in Friedel-Crafts reactions


12

v The amino groups, –NH2, –NHR, and –NR2, are changed into powerful electron-withdrawing groups by the Lewis acids used to catalyze Friedel-Crafts reactions

v The acylium ion, because it is stabilized by resonance, is more stable than most other carbocations. Thus, there is no driving force for a rearrangement.

11. How Substituents AffectElectrophilic AromaticSubstitution:A Closer Look


v Two types of EDG(i)

11B.Inductive & Resonance Effects: Theory of Orientation

by resonance effect (donates electron towards the benzene ring through resonance)

OR NR2

or

CH3>(ii) by positive inductive effect (donates electron towards the benzene ring through the s bond)


v Two types of EDG

● The resonance effect is usually stronger than the positive inductiveeffect if the atoms directly attached to the benzene ring are in the same row as carbon in the periodic table


21

v Similar to an EDG, an EWG can withdraw electrons from the benzene ring by the resonance effect or by the negative inductive effect

CO

CH3e.g.>

C F

F

F>>

Deactivate the ring by the resonance effect

Deactivate the ring by the negative inductive effect


v EWG = –COOR, –COR, –CHO, –CF3, –NO2, etc.

11C. Meta-Directing Groups

(EWG ≠ halogen)


v For example

(highly unstable due to the negative inductive effect of –CF3)


(highly unstable due to negative inductive effect of –CF3)


22

(positive charge never attaches to the carbon directly attached to the EWG: –CF3) Þ relatively more favorable


v EDG = –NR2, –OR, –OH, etc.

11D. Ortho/Para-Directing Groups


23

v For example

(extra resonance structure due to positive mesomeric effect of –OCH3)

(extra resonance structure due to resonanceeffect of –OCH3)


(3 resonance structures only, no extra stabilization by resonance effect of –OCH3) Þ less favorable


24

v For halogens, two opposing effects

Negative inductive effect:withdraws electron density from the

benzene ring

ClCl

>

Resonance effect:donates electron

density to thebenzene ring


v Overall● Halogens are weak deactivating

groupst Negative inductive effect >

resonance effect in this case


With the exception of fluorine, halogens must use 3p, 4p, and 5p orbitals to overlap with the 2p orbital of carbon - this overlap becomes progressively weaker as the size of the halogen increases.

v Which synthetic route is better?● Recall “Limitations of Friedel-Crafts

Reactions, Section 15.8”t Friedel–Crafts reactions usually give

poor yields when powerful electron-withdrawing groups are present on the aromatic ring or when the ring bears an –NH2, –NHR, or –NR2group. This applies to both alkylations and acylations

t Route 2 is a better route


v Both Br and Et groups are ortho-, para-directing

Solutionv Introduce a deactivating group on

–NH2


v The amide group is less activating than –NH2 group ● No problem for over bromination

v The steric bulkiness of this group also decreases the formation of the o-brominated product


36


Problemv Difficult to get o-product without

getting p-product v Over nitration


Solutionv Use of a –SO3H blocking group at the

p-position which can be removed later


14B. Orientation in DisubstitutedBenzenes

v Directing effect of EDG usually outweighs that of EWG

v With two EDGs, the directing effect is usually controlled by the stronger EDG
