Organic chemistry for medicine and biology students Chem 2311 Chapter 4 Aromatic Compounds By Prof. Dr. Adel M. Awadallah Islamic University of Gaza
Aromatic Compounds Hydrocarbons(contain only carbon and hydrogen) • Saturated: (Contain only single bonds) Alkanes (CnH2N + 2 ) Cycloalkanes (CnH2N ) b)Unsaturated: contain Alkenes: double bonds (,,,CnH2N) Alkynes: triple bonds ((CnH2N - 2) Aromatic: benzene like compounds
Structure of Benzene Benzene is the parent of a class of especially stable compounds called aromatic compounds. It was first isolated by Faraday in 1825 from compressed illuminating gas Different structures were suggested for benzene (C6H6). The regular conjugated hexagon structure was suggested by Kekuli` in 1865
Assigning Priority • Halogens < alkanes < alkenes < amines < OH < ketone < aldehyde < acid < ester • Examples
Reaction of benzene with n-propyl chloride produces isopropyl benzene because of rearrangement
How can you prepare the following compound? Starting from benzene
C60, An aromatic sphere • The Fullerenes
