HALOGEN AROMATIC ACIDS

Reaction with Organic Compounds. Aluminum is not attacked by saturated or unsaturated, aUphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons. Halogenated derivatives of hydrocarbons do not generally react with aluminum except in the presence of water, which leads to the forma tion of halogen acids. The chemical stabiUty of aluminum in the presence of alcohols is very good and stabiUty is excellent in the presence of aldehydes, ketones, and quinones. 

Halogenation. Halogens and halogen acids add readily to the unsaturated carbon linkages of the cyclopentadiene molecule. By such additions a series of halogenated derivatives range, in the case of the chloride, from 3-chlotocydopentene to tetrachlorocyclopentane. Of all the possible chloto derivatives of CPD, only hexachlorocyclopentadiene [77-47-4] ever reached commercial status. It was used as an insecticide, but this use has been discontinued because of its toxicity (see Chlorocarbons and chlorohydrocarbons, toxic aromatics). It can be prepared by a Hquid phase chlorination of CPD below 50°C (29). 

The introduction of the halogens onto aromatic rings by electrophilic substitution is an important synthetic procedure. Chlorine and bromine are reactive toward aromatic hydrocarbons, but Lewis acid catalysts are normally needed to achieve desirable rates. Elemental fluorine reacts very exothermically and careful control of conditions is required. Molecular iodine can effect substitution only on very reactive aromatics, but a number of more reactive iodination reagents have been developed.

Aromatic alcohols, e.g. benzyl alcohol, are thus esterified by concentrated halogen acids more easily than the aliphatic. 

In general, it is very difficult to break the aromatic C-O bond of arenols. Thus concentrated halogen acids do not convert simple arenols to aryl halides, and alkoxyarenes are cleaved with hydrogen bromide or hydrogen iodide in the manner ArO—R rather than Ar—OR ... 

Strong differences in the reactivity of the aromatic C=C double bond compared to the reactivity of the C=C double bond of olefins are observed olefinic electrophilic additions are faster than aromatic electrophilic substitutions. For instance, the addition of molecular bromine to cyclohexene (in acetic acid) is about 1014 times faster than the formation of bromobenzene from benzene and bromine in acetic acid113,114. Nevertheless, the addition of halogens to olefins parallels the Wheland intermediate formation in the halogenation of aromatic substrates. 

The halogenation of phenols and aromatic amines in aqueous solution also provides evidence for diffusion control, but the interpretation is complicated by the fact that either the formation of the o-complex or the proton loss from the (7-complex can be rate-determining. The reaction path for the halogenation of aromatic amines in aqueous acids is believed to be that shown for N,N-dialkyl anilines in Scheme 9. Where the formation of the o-complex is rate-determining, the kinetic form for attack by the molecular halogen is given by (39). In this equation, the observed rate coefficient (k ) is related to the rate coefficient for the reaction of the amine molecule (k) by (40), where KSH+ is the... 

Most of the rate comparisons in the halogenation of aromatic amines refer to bromination rate coefficients for para-substitution are collected in Table 10. Further results for o/7/io-substitution are provided in the cited references. Some of the early calculation based on (39) and (40) may be in error, because it was not then realized that the appropriate acidity function in (40) depends on the structure of the substrate (cf. Bell and Ramsden., 1958 Bell and Ninkov, 1966). The appropriate acidity function was used for the results listed in Table 10 but it is still advisable for rate comparisons to be based on experiments carried out under the same conditions.

Aromatic compounds in the presence of alkali halides or solutions of halogen acids are usually substituted when subjected to electrolysis. Phenols are readily substituted, and several antiseptics have been obtained in this manner. Prom thymol in alkali solution, and in the presence of... 

Polyolefins. Polyethylene (conventional and linear) and polypropylene have excellent chemical resistance and are readily molded and machined, although they are rather soft. Conventional polyethylene adheres well to metals, and polyethylene tubing can be readily sealed around metal rods and wires to make simple electrodes suitable for use at temperatures below 60°C. The material is resistant to mineral acids and bases (except concentrated sulfuric and perchloric acids) and most organic solvents except halogenated or aromatic hydrocarbons. 

According to a report by Goldberg and Alper55, protonation of NXS (X = Cl or Br) with a strong, highly lipophilic acid such as perchloric acid can generate positive halonium species capable of halogenating activated aromatics (e.g. mesitylene) and heteroaromatics (e.g. thiophene) in a catalytic manner in low-polarity media. They provided the scheme shown in equation 38. Since this is a biphasic system, perchloric acid should act as phase-... 

The halogens on aromatic rings may be activated by an electron-withdrawing group located at the ortho and para positions. />Fluorobenzoic acid, as its sodium salt in an aqueous solution, was hydrogenolyzed to give benzoic acid and then more slowly converted to cyclohexanecarboxylic acid over platinum catalyst.235 With Raney Ni or Raney Co alloy and alkali, it was also defluorinated.231... 

Mechanistically, the one-pot transformation can be rationalized by a sequence of chemoselective coupling of ort/to-halogenated (hetero)aromatic acid chlorides 81 and electron rich terminal alkynes 4, followed by nucleophilic addition of the sulfide ion to the a,p-unsaturated system 86 to furnish the anionic Michael adduct 87, and finally an intramolecular nucleophilic aromatic substitution in the sense of an addition-elimination process concludes the sequence (Scheme 46).
