Chlorobenzene, C₆H₅Cl, is a key intermediate in the manufacture of dyes and pesticides. It is made by the chlorination of benzene, catalyzed by FeCl₃, in this series of steps:(b) Identify the Lewis acids and bases in each of those steps.

Respuesta :

The chlorination of benzene, catalyzed by FeCl₃:

C₆H₅ + [tex]Cl_{2}[/tex] + FeCl₃→ C₆H₅Cl+HCl

The Lewis acid is [tex]Cl_{2}[/tex] and the Lewis base is C₆H₅.

What is chlorination?

  • Any procedure or reaction in which a molecule is exposed to chlorine (and no other elements). An alkene is chlorinated by electrophilic addition of chlorine .
  • Benzene ring chlorination by electrophilic aromatic substitution.
  • Since the oxy-chlorination and direct chlorination processes are exothermic, effective temperature controllers are needed to maintain the reactions's ideal conditions.
  • A chain reaction is the mechanism. In a chain reaction, a new reactive species is produced at the end for each reactive species that was present at the beginning, which keeps the reaction going.
  • Free radical chain reaction or free radical substitution is the name of the overall process.
