Chapter 14, Problem 14.18P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Whether the given compound is aromatic, antiaromatic, or nonaromatic is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The rule for aromaticity applies only if the system is planar, cyclic, and has a continuous overlap of p-orbitals.

As per Huckel’s rules for aromaticity, the molecule must possess a pi system of molecular orbitals constructed from p-orbitals that are fully conjugated around a ring. The number of electrons in the π system must be (4n + 2), n = 0, 1, 2, ...

If the number of electrons in the π system is 4n, n = 0, 1, 2, ..., the compound is antiaromatic.

All other compounds are nonaromatic.

PLEASE READ!!! I DONT WANT EXAMPLES, I DONT WANT WORDS OR PARAGRAPHS FOR THE MECHANISM!!! THANKS First image: QUESTION 6. I have to show, with ARROWS and STRUCTURES, the mechanism of the reaction at the bottom. Also I have to show by mecanism why the reaction wouldn't work if the alcohol was primary. I also tried to draw the mechanism, tell me what to change. Please note that its an AMIDE thats formed not an AMINE the nitrogen has ONE hydrogen and one Phenyl-C-Phenyl. I already asked for this mechanism and got as a final product ...-NH2 not whats shown on the picture, thank you Ths second part. QUESTION 3. I just need a way to synthesize the lactone A, I already started please continue from where I left it  Second image: I simply need the products, substrates or reagents, thank you
