OCR A level Chemistry: Aromatic Compounds is apart of the Module 6: Organic Chemistry and Analysis. All presentations come with worked examples, solutions and homeworks Molecular, empirical, skeletal formula for benzene. The Kekulé model for benzene Evidence against the Kekule model The delocalised model for benzene Nomenclature for benzene rings and aromatic (arene) compounds Naming benzene containing compounds Drawing benzene containing compounds Defining an electrophile Substitution reactions Nitration of Benzene Reaction mechanisms Halogenation of Benzene Common Halogen Carriers Friedel-Crafts Alkylation Reactions Acyl Chloride Acylation Reactions of Benzene Reactivity of Alkenes and Arenes Naming phenols Distinguishing between phenols and alcohols Distinguishing between phenols and alkenes Distinguishing between phenols and carboxylic acids Phenol as a weak acid Electrophilic reactions with phenols Comparing and explaining the reactivity of phenols and benzene Naming positions on the aromatic ring Activating groups and deactivating groups 2-and-4-directing and 3-directing groups ortho-and-para directing and meta directing groups Two-step synthesis routes for benzene using directing groups. Nitration of benzene Halogenation of benzene Friedel-Crafts Alkylation of benzene
