Nitration occurs through electrophilic addition of aromatic rings by breaking one of its aromatic bonds in order to attack the nitogen. The ring with more electron density will be more likely to add NO2 groups in its meta position (the only position if another group is already attached). When electrophillic addition occurs, the benzene ring would have to unfavorably break its stable aromaticity to attack. However, the phenyl oxygen can donate its electrons to the benzene ring, thus enriching it with electron density and stabilizing the positive charge.

The carbonyl group does nothing to stabilize the other benzene ring during its electrophilic addition. In fact, the carbonyl group may as well have the opposite effect: the resonance structure of a single bonded carbon to its oxygen pulls electrons away from the benzene ring through inductive effect.

If ethyl benzoate is treated with phenylmagnesium bromide a one to one mixture of benzophenone and triphenylmethanol are obtained after work-up. Why?

The MgBr causes the carbon that it's attached to in the phenylmagnesium bromide to become negative and attack the carbonyl carbon of the ethyl benzoate. The carbonly obtains a new bond with a phenyl group and loses its double bond to oxygen. It instead becomes a single bond and oxygen becomes negative (theoretically, the MgBr will attach to the oxygen as an intermediate phase). This attack of the carbon attached to the MgBr will happen a second time creating a carbon attached to 3 phenyl groups (triphenyl) and upon reduction of this compound (using H2 and a catalyst or LiAlH4), -OCH2CH3 gets protonated and leaves as ethanol, and the carbon and oxygen get protonated to CH3OH. I hope this makes sense to you, lol.


Is phenyl acetate or butyric acid more polar?

Phenyl acetate is less polar than butyric acid. This is because butyric acid has more polar functional groups present (carboxylic acid) compared to phenyl acetate (ester).


How do you draw phenyl-methanol?

To draw phenyl-methanol, start by drawing a benzene ring (phenyl group) with a -CH2OH group attached to it. The -CH2OH group signifies the methanol portion, which consists of a methylene (-CH2) group bonded to a hydroxyl (-OH) group. Ensure the proper connectivity between the carbon atoms and the hydrogen atoms in each functional group.

What is the Prepration of phenyl benzoate from phenol?

To prepare phenyl benzoate from phenol, first convert phenol to phenyl benzoate by reacting it with benzoic acid and a catalyst such as concentrated sulfuric acid or concentrated hydrochloric acid at elevated temperatures. This esterification reaction will yield phenyl benzoate along with water as a byproduct. Purification techniques such as distillation can then be used to isolate the desired product.

What are the key differences between phenol and phenyl, and how do these differences impact their chemical properties and reactivity?

Phenol is a specific compound with a hydroxyl group attached to a benzene ring, while phenyl refers to just the benzene ring without any other functional groups. The presence of the hydroxyl group in phenol makes it more reactive than phenyl. Phenol can participate in hydrogen bonding and undergo reactions like oxidation and substitution, while phenyl is less reactive and mainly serves as a structural component in organic molecules.


Is phenyl a functional group?

Equation for reaction of phenol and benzoic acid?

Benzoic acid has a chemical formula of PhCOOH. It does not react with water so much as it dissociates in it, forming a free hydrogen ion. The reaction for the dissociation is PhCOOH(aq) --> PhCOO-(aq) + H+ (aq).
