 SENYAWA AROMATIS

 Aromatis pada awal abad ke 19 digunakan

untuk menjelaskan beberapa senyawa parfum

 Sekarang dikelompokkan sebagai sifat kimia

(senyawa takjenuh yang mengalami reaksi
substitusi daripada adisi).

 They are distinguished from aliphatic

compounds by electronic configuration.

Hence, compounds having benzene rings eventually came

to be know as “AROMATIC COMPOUNDS.

Today chemists have a different definition of “AROMATIC”

which we will discuss later in the chapter.

 Bila lebih dari dua substituen, harus digunakan penomeran
 Nomor substituen harus serendah mungkin
 Substituen harus dituliskan secara alfabetis
 Jika satu susbtituen digunakan untuk nama induk benzena, maka substituen
tersebut berada pada posisi 1.
 Gugus C6H5- sbg substituen
 Fenil disingkat sebagai Ph atau ø
 Hidrokarbon dengan rantai jenuh dan cincin benzena
diberinama berdasarkan stuktur unit yang terbesar sebagai
nama induknya
 Jika rantainya tidak jenuh, maka rantai ini sebagai nama
induknya dan benzena sebagai substituen.

 Gugus fenilmetil disebut: benzil

 STRUKTUR BENZENE YG
SPESIFIK
 All its C-C bonds are the same length: 139 pm
between single (154 pm) and double (134 pm) bonds
 Electron density in all six C-C bonds is identical
 Structure is planar, hexagonal with C–C–C bond angles
120°
 Each C is sp2 and has a p orbital perpendicular to the
plane of the six-membered ring

 Teori Modern pada Struktur Benzena
 Penjelasan Resonansi pada struktur Benzena
 Struktur I dan II merupakan kontributor resonansi yang sama
terhadap struktur benzena yang sesungguhnya
 Benzena sangat stabil karena memiliki dua struktur
ekuivalen yang sama dan merupakan resonansi yang
penting
 Setiap ikatan C-C adalah 1.39Å, meskipun ikatan C–C sp 2
adalah 1.47Å dan C=C adalah 1.33 Å
 Hibrid ini sering dinyatakan sebagai lingkaran segienam (III)
 Penjelasan Orbital Molekul pd struktur Benzena
 C pada benzena mempunyai hibridasi sp2 dengan
orbital p pada keenam atom C (a)
 The p orbitals overlap around the ring (b) to form a
bonding molecular orbital with electron density above
and below the plane of the ring (c)

 There are six p molecular orbitals for benzene

HUCKEL 4n+2 RULE
Prediction: Compounds that have 4n+2 pi electrons in
a cyclic array will be aromatic.

4n+2 series = 2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30 …….. etc.

Aromatic Compounds Have Special Properties

Aromatic compounds:

1) Must be cyclic and fully conjugated

2) Must have 4n+2  electrons in the system
3) Must have the entire system planar
4) Will have no unpaired electrons in
the  system molecular orbitals
planar
Characteristic Properties: system
1) Special chemical stability

2) Give substitution reactions instead of addition

3) Show a ring currrent in the NMR

 Benzena bereaksi lambat dengan Br2 menghasilkan
bromobenzena (dimana Br menggantikan H)

 Reaksi substitusi lebih umum terjadi daripada adisi

yang umum terjadi pada senyawa mengandung gugus

 Benzene Reactivity
Benzene requires a strong electrophile and a catalyst
…..and then it undergoes substitution reactions, not addition.
