They are highly reactive and form 2,4,6-tribromo Toluene.
Toluene is not a good conductor of electricity.
Hi ,As you know from the structures of both the compounds that toluene has a methyl group on the benzene ring which is electron releasing group and hence activate the benzene ring by pushing the elctrons on the benzene ring. On the other hand nitro group on the benzene ring is electron withdrawing group which deactivates the benzene ring by withdrawing the electrons from the benzene ring . Now in the nitration attack of the nucleophile ( NO2 +) takes place. Hence reaction will takes place on that benzene faster which have more electron density on its ring which is the case of toluene.
Toluene + HNO3/H2SO4 --> p-nitrotoluene (para directed nitration) p-nitrotoluene + Zn/HCl --> p-aminotoluene (changing NO2 to NH2 by reduction) p-aminotoluene +Br2 --> bromination ortho to NH2 Remove NH2 via diazonium salt and decomposition with 1) HONO (which is NaNO2+HCl), 2) H3PO2 for the final product.
HCl gas does not conduct electricity when dissolved in toluene because toluene is a nonpolar solvent and does not dissociate the HCl into free ions. In order for a substance to conduct electricity in solution, it needs to be in the form of ions that can move and carry an electric charge. In this case, the HCl remains as molecules in toluene and does not dissociate into ions.
The Étard reaction is a chemical reaction that involves the direct oxidation of an aromatic or heterocyclic bound methyl group to an aldehyde using chromyl chloride. It is named for the French chemist Alexandre Léon Étard (5 January 1852, Alençon - 1 May 1910). For example, toluene can be oxidised to benzaldehyde:
When bromine is added to toluene, bromination of the aromatic ring can occur. This reaction can lead to the formation of mono- or poly-brominated toluene derivatives, depending on reaction conditions. Products may include ortho-, meta-, or para-bromotoluene isomers.
The reaction of bromine with acetophenone can yield several products, depending on reaction conditions. One common product is α-brominated acetophenone, where bromine adds to the alpha carbon of the carbonyl group. This reaction can also lead to dibrominated acetophenone if excess bromine is used.
The chemical equation for the reaction between toluene and bromine (Br) is C6H5CH3 + Br2 → C6H5CH2Br + HBr. This reaction is an electrophilic aromatic substitution where one of the hydrogens on the benzene ring is replaced by a bromine atom.
para-toluene sulfonic acid and ortho toluene sulfonic acid p-CH3-C6H4-SO3H and o-CH3-C6H4-SO3H
When toluene reacts with bromine water, it undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution. The color of the bromine water fades from orange to colorless due to the addition of bromine to the aromatic ring of toluene, forming bromotoluene. This reaction is used to test for the presence of aromatic compounds.
there is no chemical reaction between these two.
A catalytic system commonly used for the bromination of toluene is a combination of elemental bromine (Br2) in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst, such as iron(III) bromide (FeBr3) or aluminum bromide (AlBr3). These catalysts help facilitate the electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction by activating the bromine molecule for attack on the aromatic ring of toluene.
Electrophilic halogenation
lol huh
The reaction between acidified potassium permanganate and toluene results in the oxidation of toluene to benzoic acid. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: C7H8 + 2KMnO4 + 8H2SO4 → 2MnSO4 + K2SO4 + 7H2O + 7H2O + C6H5CO2H
toulene+sulphuric acid = o-methyl benzene sulphonic acid + p-methyl benzene sulphonic acid. Since methly group is ortho and para directed group so it activates benzene ring for electrophilic substitution reaction.
Yes, toluene will undergo bromination. When treated with bromine in the presence of a Lewis acid catalysts such as FeBr3 or AlBr3, toluene will undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution to form bromotoluene as the major product.
