Understanding Aromatic, Nonaromatic, and Antiaromatic Hydrocarbons in Organic Chemistry

This guide explores the characteristics and stability of aromatic, nonaromatic, and antiaromatic hydrocarbons. Aromatic hydrocarbons, with their cyclic, planar structure and 4n+2 pi electrons, exhibit significant stability compared to their nonaromatic counterparts. Nonaromatic hydrocarbons, which can also be cyclic and fully conjugated, share similar stability to linear hydrocarbons. Conversely, antiaromatic hydrocarbons, characterized by 4n pi electrons, are particularly unstable. The document also discusses the effects of substituents on the acidity of phenols and the oxidation to quinones, highlighting important properties and reactions in organic chemistry.

  7. Aromatic Hydrocarbon: A cyclic, planar, fully conjugated hydrocarbon with 4n+2 pi electrons (2, 6, 10, 14, 18, etc). • An aromatic hydrocarbon is especially stable relative to an open-chain fully conjugated hydrocarbon of the same number of carbon atoms. • Nonaromatic Hydrocarbon: A cyclic, non-planar, fully conjugated hydrocarbon with 4n+2 pi electrons. • A nonaromatic hydrocarbon has similar stability to its open-chain fully conjugated hydrocarbon of the same number of carbon atoms. • Antiaromatic hydrocarbon:A monocyclic, planar, fully conjugated hydrocarbon with 4n pi electrons (4, 8, 12, 16, 20...). • An antiaromatic hydrocarbon is especially unstable relative to an open-chain fully conjugated hydrocarbon of the same number of carbon atoms.

  14. Acidity of Phenols • Alkyl and halogen substituents effect acidities by inductive effects: • Alkyl groups are electron-releasing. • Halogens are electron-withdrawing.

  15. Acidity of Phenols • Alkyl substituents are electron-releasing • Destabilizes the structure because it puts additional negative charge on the para-position. p. 873

  16. Acidity of Phenols • Nitro groups increase the acidity of phenols by both an electron-withdrawing inductive effect and a resonance effect.

  19. Oxidation to Quinones • Because of the presence of the electron-donating –OH group, phenols are susceptible to oxidation by a variety of strong oxidizing agents.

  20. Oxidation to Quinones

  21. Quinones • Perhaps the most important chemical property of quinones is that they are readily reduced to hydroquinones.

  22. Coenzyme Q • Coenzyme Q is a carrier of electrons in the respiratory chain.
