Chapter 13.17, Problem 25P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The name of the isomers that are separately formed under kinetically and thermodynamically control reactions of sulfonation of naphthalene is to be determined. The reason for the stability of one isomer over other is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

On the basis of chemical kinetics if a reaction can proceed through two different transition states, then the state that is associated with lower energy undergoes for the formation of the desired product and the corresponding product is said to be formed under a reaction that is kinetically controlled.

On the basis of thermodynamics, the product that has lower energy is the principal product and this principal product is said to be formed under a reaction that is thermodynamically controlled.

When we have discussed the enol-keto tautomerization of ketones in class, the isomerization has been facililated by an acid or base catalyst, with most ketones heavily favoring the carbonyl isomer at equilibrium. However, samples of the ketone below in its pure form (with no acid, base or water present) contain nearly 10% of the enol form! OH -90% -10% From this data, we can infer that the enol isomer of this ketone is particularly stable. Explain the stability of this enol, using terms and ideas that we have discussed in this unit.
Draw the structure(s) of the major organic product(s) of the following reaction. You need not specify stereochemistry. If more than one product is formed, draw all structures in the same sketchpad. 1. LIAIH4/dry Et₂O 2. aqueous HCI
Early structural studies on benzene had to explain the following experimental evidence. When benzene was treated with Br2 (plus a Lewis acid), a single substitution product of molecular formula C6H5Br was formed. When this product was treated with another equivalent of Br2, three different compounds of molecular formula C6H4Br2 were formed.a. Explain why a single Kekulé structure is consistent with the first result, but does not explain the second result.b. Then explain why a resonance description of benzene is consistent with the results of both reactions.
