STRUCTURE OF BENZENE Benzene = C6H6 Its structure was a mystery for many years - until Kekule’s dream.
STRUCTURE OF BENZENE Problems with Kekule’s structure: 1) C-C bonds are all the same length (between C-C and C=C length). 2) Benzene does not undergo addition reactions readily (e.g. with bromine water). 3) H hydrogenation about 152 kJ mol-1 less than expected. © www.chemsheets.co.uk A2 019 15-Jul-12

FRIEDEL-CRAFTS ACYLATION WARNING! - do not mix Friedel-Crafts acylation & other acylations (needs AlCl3) Swap H on benzene ring for acyl group Swap H on O/N for acyl group © www.chemsheets.co.uk A2 019 15-Jul-12
FRIEDEL-CRAFTS ACYLATION WARNING! - Classic question to test this H replaced is on N not benzene ring. This is NOT Friedel-Crafts acylation! © www.chemsheets.co.uk A2 019 15-Jul-12
