Organic Chemistry- Aromatics Flashcards
1
Q
What is an arene?
A
Compounds containing a benzene ring
2
Q
What is the molecular formula of benzene?
A
C6H6
3
Q
Evidence against Kekules Structure
A
Bromine test- benzene did not decolourise bromine water
Delocalisation energy- The actual structure of benzene is 152kJmol-1 more STABLE than Kekules benzene as hydrogenation is 152kJmol-1 less exothermic than expected (less exothermic=more stable)
