Chapter 13.10, Problem 13P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given parts with respect to tert- butylbenzene is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

The rate of electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS) on benzene is the same at all carbon atoms as they are all equivalent.

The presence of a substituent on benzene ring modifies the rates at which EAS occurs at different ring carbons.

The rate of EAS depends on the position of the carbon relative to the substituent already present and the number of equivalent carbons of each type.

Explain how Hammond's postulate accounts for the higher selectivity of bromination reactions as compared to chlorination reactions.
Bromocyclopentane is more reactive than bromocyclohexane when heated with sodium iodide in acetone. Explain this difference in reactivity.
Assuming that benzaldehyde is the limiting reagent for the synthesis of stilbene, that stilbene is the limiting reagent for the synthesis of stilbene dibromide, and that stilbene dibromide is the limiting reagent for the synthesis of diphenylacetylene; what is the overall % yield of diphenylacetylene from benzaldehyde given the percentage yield of each step of the reaction sequence as follows? Give only two significant digits. If the answer is a whole number with two digits, do not include the decimal. 52% 87% benzaldehyde → stilbene → stilbene dibromide 41% Answer: diphenylacetylene Notes: For our multi-step synthesis we cannot just calculate the yield based on starting amount of benzaldehyde and final amount of diphenylacetylene because your group may have been supplemented with commercial material at one or more steps. In truth most chemist use an excess of the least expensive reagent to increase their yield. So in our case benzyltriphenylphosphonium chloride should probably be our…
