Q2Show why the OH functional group, of phenol below, is ortho directing using curly arrows to show the formation of each of the four resonance structures A, B, C and D. Draw all the resonance structures A through D and explain why one resonance structure is more favourable than the other three in directing the electrophile (E*) ortho to the OH functional group.

For the reaction given below, draw a mechanism (curved arrows) and then predict which side of the reaction is favoured under equilibrium conditions. Include lone pairs and formal charges. Predict which side of the reaction is favored under equilibrium conditions, and explain your choice. a. the reactants are favored, because the negative charge on the electronegative oxygen atom is more stable (making it the stronger base). b. the products are favored, because the negative charge on the electronegative oxygen atom is more stable (making it the weaker base). c. the products are favored, because the negative charge on the large sulfur atom is more stable (making it the weaker base). d. the reactants are favored, because the negative charge on the large sulfur atom is more stable (making it the stronger base).

Comparing A and C, it is easier to remove the highlighted hydrogen on A to generate a carbanion (B) than it is to remove a hydrogen on C in an analogous manner (D). Use your knowledge of resonance structures to propose a reason for this observation.
