Chapter 16.10, Problem 22P
Interpretation Introduction

a) m-Chloronitrobenzene.

Interpretation:

How to synthesize m-chloronitrobenzene from benzene is to be shown.

Concept introduction:

In aromatic electrophilic substitution reactions the nitro group is meta directing. Since a meta chloronitrobenzene is to be synthesized, benzene is first nitrated and the nitrobenzene obtained is then chlorinated.

To show:

How to synthesize m-chloronitrobenzene from benzene.

Interpretation Introduction

b) m-Chloroethylbenzene.

Interpretation:

How to synthesize m-chloroethylbenzene from benzene is to be shown.

Concept introduction:

Since a meta halogen substituted alkyl benzene is to be synthesized benzene is first converted into a meta directing ketone by Friedal-Crafts acylation. The ketone upon halogenation will yield m-halogen substituted ketone which can be reduced to get the desired product.

To show:

How to synthesize m-chloroethylbenzene from benzene.

Interpretation Introduction

c) 4-Chloro-1-nitro-2-propylbenzene.

Interpretation:

How to synthesize 4-chloro-1-nitro-2-propylbenzene from benzene is to be shown.

Concept introduction:

Since a propyl benzene with a nitro group in the ortho position and a Cl at meta position is to be synthesized. Benzene is first converted into a meta directing ketone by Friedal-Crafts acylation. The ketone upon halogenation will yield a m-halogen substituted ketone which can be reduced to a m-chloroalkyl benzene. Alkyl groups are o- and p- directing. Hence by nitrating the m-chloroalkyl benzene the desired product can be synthesized.

To show:

How to synthesize 4-chloro-1-nitro-2-propylbenzene from benzene.

Interpretation Introduction

d) 3-Bromo-2-methylbenzenesulfonic acid.

Interpretation:

How to synthesize 3-bromo-2-methylbenzenesulfonic acid from benzene is to be shown.

Concept introduction:

A benzenesulfonic acid with a methyl group in the ortho position and a Br at the meta position is to be synthesized. Benzene is first converted into toluene by Friedal-Crafts alkylation. The toluene upon sulfonation will yield a methyl sulfonic acid. By brominating the methylsulfonic acid the desired product can be synthesized.

To show:

How to synthesize 3-bromo-2-methylbenzenesulfonic acid from benzene.

The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets limits on healthful levels of air pollutants. The maximum level that the EPA considers safe for lead air pollution is 1.5 μg/m³ Part A If your lungs were filled with air containing this level of lead, how many lead atoms would be in your lungs? (Assume a total lung volume of 5.40 L.) ΜΕ ΑΣΦ = 2.35 1013 ? atoms ! Check your rounding. Your final answer should be rounded to 2 significant figures in the last step. No credit lost. Try again.
