Question
Rank the following compounds in the order of increasing reactivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction.
Transcribed Image Text:This image contains several structural formulas of organic compounds, specifically aromatic compounds (benzene derivatives). Below is a detailed transcription and description of each chemical structure from left to right and top to bottom:
1. The first structure is benzene, represented as a hexagon with alternating double bonds inside.
2. The second structure includes a benzene ring with one bromine (Br) atom attached to the ring. This is known as bromobenzene.
3. The third structure is a benzene ring with two methyl groups (CH₃) attached to it, positioned on the first and third carbon atoms of the ring, respectively. This compound is known as m-xylene (meta-xylene).
4. The fourth structure is similar to benzene but with this benzene ring having a single hydrogen atom substituted. This is a phenyl group.
5. The fifth structure is a benzene ring with two bromine (Br) atoms attached to it at the first and fourth positions. This compound is known as p-dibromobenzene (para-dibromobenzene).
These structures highlight simple derivatives of benzene, showcasing common functional groups and substituent patterns such as halogens and methyl groups. Each compound represents fundamental aspects of organic chemistry and can be used to explain concepts such as isomerism, electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, and the reactivity of aromatic compounds.
