  • Arenes
    • Benzene
      • C6H6       C=C Bond
      • Physical properties
        • Insoluble in water
        • Boiling temperature 80C
        • Kekule structure
          • Each carbon is bonded to a hydrogen
      • Reactions
        • Hydrogenation in the presence of nickel catalyst
        • Burns in air producing smoky flame
        • Benzene and bromine heated under reflux in presence of catalyst, halogen carrier
    • Friedel-crafts
      • Form C-C bonds in organic synthesis
      • Carried out by refluxing benzene with a halogen carrier and halogenalkane or acyl chloride
      • Put Alkyl group onto benzene ring using halogenalkane and hydrogen carrier
      • Phenylketones are produced by refluxing benzene with acyl chloride
    • Phenols
      • benzene rings attached to -OH group
        • Undergoes electrophilic subsitiution
      • One of the lone pairs of electrons in the p-orbital of oxygen atom overlaps the delocalised pi-bonds in benzene rings
      • The lone pair of electrons from the oxygen is particularly delocalised into the pi-system
    • Aldehydes and Ketones
      • Contain carbonyl compounds with functional group C=O
      • Carbonyl compound is an aldehyde with hydrogen attached to the carbonyl group
      • Carbonyl compound is a ketone with hydrogen attached to the carbonyl group
      • No O-H bonds so not polar, cannot form hydrogen bonds
        • Lower boiling point than other alcohols
      • Forms hydrogen bonds with water
      • Aldehydes can be reduced into primary alcohols
      • Ketones cane reduced into secondary alcohols
      • Aldehydes have carbonyl group at the end of carbon chain
      • Ketones have carbonyl group in the middle of the carbon chain
