Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Which of the given molecules and ions are aromatic according to the Huckel criteria and which, if planar, would be anti-aromatic has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The term aromaticity means “extreme stability”. So, aromatic compounds are highly stable compounds whereas anti-aromatic compounds are highly unstable compounds.

The aromatic compounds and anti-aromatic compounds can be distinguished based on Huckel’s rule of aromaticity.

Huckel’s rule of aromaticity is4n+2=πe

If n=0,1,2,...., then the given compound is an aromatic compound.

If n=fractionalnumbers, then the given compound is an non-aromatic compound.

If πe=4n, then the given compound is an anti-aromatic compound.

Explanation of Solution

The given compound is shown here:

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY-OWL V2 ACCESS, Chapter 21, Problem 21.16P , additional homework tip  1

There are five π- bonds. Each π- bond has two electrons. Hence, there are a total of 5×2=10-π-electrons(πe).

Huckel’s rule of aromaticity 4n+2=πe

4n+2=10n=1024=84=2

n=Whole number, the given compound is aromatic.

There are six π- bonds. Each π- bond has two electrons. Hence, there are a total of 6×2=12-π-electrons(πe) .

Huckel’s rule of aromaticity 4n+2=πe

4n+2=πeπe=124×34n

πe=4nthe given compound is anti-aromatic.

The given compound is planar. So, it is expected to possess aromaticity due to the expected effective delocalization of π-electrons on the planar structure. But, even though the given compound is planar, yet is being anti-aromatic which has been proved by the Huckel'srule.
