Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The resonating structures of carbocation intermediate formed in furan in Friedel crafts acylation reaction are to be drawn. Whether Friedel crafts acylation occurs at carbon -2 or carbon -3 in furan is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Friedel crafts acylation reaction is a reaction in which an aromatic compound is reacted with an acyl chloride in the presence of a Lewis acid to form an aromatic ketone. This reaction takes place by electrophilic substitution reaction meachanism.

Propose a feasible synthesis for diphenylacetylene from bromobenzene. Draw the reaction scheme and briefly describe the reaction.
Furan undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution more readily than benzene; mild reagents and conditions are sufficient.For example, furan reacts with bromine to give 2-bromofuran.(a) Propose mechanisms for the bromination of furan at the 2-position and at the 3-position. Draw the resonance forms ofeach sigma complex, and compare their stabilities.(b) Explain why furan undergoes bromination (and other electrophilic aromatic substitutions) primarily at the 2-position.O Br O123furan 2-bromofuran
