Treatment of 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol with bromine in cold acetic acid gives the compound C18H29BrO in quantitative yield. The

infrared spectrum of this compound contains absorptions at 1630 and 1655 cm^-1. Its 1H NMR spectrum shows only three peaks (all singlets), at δ 1.2, 1.3, and 6.9, in the ratio 9:18:2. What is a reasonable structure for the compound?

Answer:

2,4,6-tri-tert-butylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone

Explanation:

1. Information from the formulas

C₁₈H₃₀O ⟶ C₁₈H₂₉BrO

A Br has replaced an H.

2. Information from the reaction

These look like the conditions for an electrophilic aromatic substitution.

3. Possible mechanism (Fig. 1)

The product must be highly symmetrical, because there are so few NMR signals.

(i) The bromonium ion attacks at the para position, forming a resonance-stabilized carbocation intermediate.

(ii) A bromide ion attacks the H of the hydroxyl group to form 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone.

4. Confirmatory evidence (Fig. 2)

(a) Infrared  

1630 cm⁻¹:  C=O stretch

1655 cm⁻¹ : C=C stretch

(b)NMR

1.2 (9h, s):    the 4-tert-butyl group

1.3 (18H, s): the 2- and 6- tert- butyl groups

6.9 (2H, s):    the alkene H atoms

The ratio is 9:18:2.

Which of the following halogens has the weakest attraction for electrons?
Leokris [45]

Answer:

I

Explanation:

Among the halogens given in this problem, iodine has the lowest attraction for electrons.

This property is known as electronegativity.

Electronegativity is expressed as the relative tendency with which the atoms of the element attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond.

  • As you go down the periodic group the electronegativity decreases.
  • The most electronegative element on the periodic table is fluorine.
  • Down the group, iodine is the least electronegative
  • This is due to the large size of its atom.
