Kekule reasoned that ortho-dibromobenzene (1,2-dibromobenzene) existed in two forms that were in rapid equilibrium and couldn t be isolated. These two forms are in Figure 6-2. 

Among benzene derivatives, halogen-substituted compounds have been extensively studied and in the structure-reactivity studies " carried out on the reaction of OH and SO with the ortho and meta isomers of dichloro and dibromobenzenes and mono-bromotoluenes, the formation of substituted hydroxycyclohexadienyl radical was observed to be the major reaction channel. The bimolecular rate constants obtained for the reaction of OH with substituted halobenzenes are in the range (1.7 to 9.3) x 10 dm mol s. The rate constants obtained are found to follow the Hammett relationship for the reaction of OH with substituted halobenzenes and the p was found to be -0.5, indicating that OH radicals react by addition to the benzene ting. 

The spectra of the intermediate transients formed in the reaction of OH with dichloro- and dibromo-benzenes and chloro- and bromo-toluenes exhibited absorption maxima around 325-330 nm with both ortho- and w to-isomers of dichlorobenzenes, dibromobenzenes, and bromotoluenes (Fig. 6). The transients were assigned to the isomeric OH adducts formed from the addition of OH to the benzene ring. A blue shift was observed in the absorption maximum of -bromotoluene (315 nm) when compared to its ortho- and meta-isomers which have maxima at 330 nm. Such a behavior was also seen in the absorption spectra of OH adducts of 0- and w-chlorotoluenes (325-330 nm) and w-xylenes (326-328 nm) as compared to their... 

The physical constants listed in Table 25.1 illustrate very well a point previously made (Sec. 12.3) about the boiling points and melting points of ortho, meta, and para isomers. The isomeric dihalobenzenes, for example, have very nearly the same boiling points between 173° and 180° for the dichlorobenzenes, 217° to 221° for the dibromobenzenes, and 285° to 287° for the diiodobenzenes. Yet the melting points of these same compounds show a considerable spread in each case, the para isomer has a melting point that is some 70-100 degrees higher than the ortho or meta isomer. The physical constants of the halotoluenes show a similar relationship. 

Let us focus on the generation and reactions of o-bromophenyllithium without deceleration. Ortho-lithiation of bromobenzene is not suitable for the generation of o-bromophenyllithium, because the bromine-lithium exchange reaction is very fast. Therefore, the bromine-lithium exchange reaction of o-dibromobenzene using butyllithium (BuLi) is the method of choice (Scheme 6.8). 

The prefixes o- (ortho-), m- (meta-), and p- (para-) are also used to denote the relative positions of the two substituted groups, as shown above for the dibromobenzenes. Compounds in which the two substituted groups are different are named accordingly. Thus,... 

SOLUTION TO 23a A bromo substituent is an ortho-para director, so halogenation cannot be used to introduce both bromo substituents of m-dibromobenzene. Knowing that a bromo substituent can be placed on a benzene ring with a Sandmeyer reaction and that the bromo substituent in a Sandmeyer reaction replaces what originally was a meta-directing nitro substituent, we have a route to the synthesis of the target compound. 

There are objections which can be raised to all these formulas. While that of Kekule accounts for the fact that benzene can unite with six bromine atoms, as it contains three double bonds, it is not in accord with the fact that but one ortho dibromobenzene -exists. According to this formula, ortho compounds should exist in the forms represented by the formulas,—... 

There are two isomeric products, therefore this is ortho-dibromobenzene. 

The bottle of dibromobenzene with the melting point of 87° is the para-isomer the bottle with the melting point of 6° is the ortho-isomer the bottle with the melting point of -7° is the meta-isomer. 

Figure 5.34 Schematic representation of the coupling interactions of the H, H , and Hf, protons of m-dibromobenzene. The and Hf, protons are split into double doublets due to their couplings with Hf, and H2, Hf, is split into a triplet by tbe two ortho protons. Note that the COSY cross-peaks are missing at the central peak of the triplet due to the intensity ratio of the triplet in the polarization transfer experiment being +1, 0, —1.

Selective monoamination of ortho-, para-, and weta-dibromobenzenes 33 with the polyamine 34 took place using DPPF (XI-1) as a ligand to give 35 in a reasonable yield even in the presence of an excess of the polyamine without giving the diamination product. In addition, selective monoarylation of the primary amine moiety in the polyamine 34 was observed [33],... 

Explain how NMR spectroscopy could be used to distinguish the ortho-, meta-, and PRACTICE PROBLEM 14.14 /(tw-dibromobenzene isomers one from another. 

The desired liquid crystals are generally synthesized from substituted ortho-dibromobenzene. In a Rosenmund-von-Braun reaction it is converted into the corresponding dicyano compound. Treatment with ammonia leads to the isoindoline from which the substituted phthalocyanine is obtained (Scheme 13). 

If both para substituents were the same, as in 1,4-dibromobenzene, all four protons would be equivalent and a singlet peak would be seen (Figure 3.32b). For an ortho-substituted ring, a plane of symmetry is also seen, as in o-dichlorobenzene ... 

A new route to oxcarbazepine (Trileptal), the most widely prescribed antiepileptic drug, starting from commercially available 2 -aminoacetophenone and 1,2-dibromobenzene, was reported in 2005 by SanMartin, Dominguez, and coworkers [30]. Using the catalytic system of a combination of Pd(OAc)j and XantPhos, it was possible to arylate M -tosyl-2 -aminoacetophenone with ortho-dibromobenzene in toluene and water at 120 °C in the presence of CSjCOj (Scheme 8.8) [30]. The addition of relatively smtJl quantities of water resulted in an enhancement of the selectivity so that the reaction proceeded more cleanly, but the rate of the process was noticeably slower.
