169) The heats of hydrogenation for cyclohexene and benzene are given below. Calculate the resonance stabilization energy of benzene.

C6H10 + H2 🡪 C6H12 Ho = -120 kJ/mol

C6H6 + 3H2 🡪 C6H12 Ho = -208 kJ/mol

Hydrogenation of three double bonds should release 3 times the energy released when one double bond is hydrogenated. Thus, the theoretical Ho for benzene can be calculated as [3x (-120)] kJ/mol = -360 kJ/mol

Therefore,

Resonance stabilization energy of benzene = (-208) – (-360) kJ/mol

= 152 kJ/mol

Topic: Aromaticity, Reactivity

176) The Lewis structures of both pyridine and pyrrole have an electron pair on the nitrogen atom, suggesting that both substances might possess basic properties. However, only pyridine reacts readily with HCl to form pyridinium chloride, while pyrrole is rather unreactive. Explain clearly, using relevant diagrams to illustrate/clarify your answer.

Both pyridine and pyrrole are known to exhibit aromatic properties; the nitrogen atom must therefore be sp2 hybridized in both cases.

In the pyridine molecule, this places the electron pair in an sp2 hybrid orbital, and not involved in the aromatic  sextet needed for aromatic stability; the electron pair is thus “available” for reacting with HCl, forming pyridinium chloride, while preserving aromatic stability.

By contrast, the electron pair in pyrrole must be placed in the p orbital, since all three sp2 orbitals are used in sigma bonds with neighboring atoms. This allows the electron pair to contribute to aromatic stability by becoming part of the aromatic sextet. Thus, the electron pair on nitrogen is not “available” for reacting with HCl, because doing so would destroy the aromaticity of the ring.

The C2-C3 bond: one double bond (III), and two single bonds (I and II)

185) Consider the oxygen atom in the molecules of furan and tetrahydrofuran. Bearing in mind that furan exhibits aromatic properties, compare the hybridization of oxygen in both species, explaining why it must be different, although at first glance, it may appear identical.

Oxygen has 2 lone electron pairs in both species and, at first glance, it might appear that the hybridization patterns are identical. In THF, the oxygen atom is sp3 hybridized and both pairs can be placed in sp3 hybrid orbitals. In furan, there are two possibilities that must be considered: i) the oxygen may be sp3 hybridized, with both electron pairs sp3 hybrid orbitals, as in THF, or, ii) oxygen may be sp2 hybridized, with one electron pair in an sp2 hybrid orbital, the other in a p orbital. In the latter case, the electrons in the p orbital can then become part of an aromatic sextet, allowing the molecule to gain aromatic stability. Since furan is known to exhibit markedly aromatic properties, the oxygen must be sp2 hybridized.
